HC Deb 22 February 1934 vol 286 c484
16. Mr. CRAVEN-ELLIS

asked the Home Secretary if he will introduce legislation to restrict the development of multiple firms, co-operative societies, and the like which carry on a retail trade in order to free the individual private trader from unfair competition, and to make it illegal for trading organisations to subscribe directly or indirectly to the funds of political parties or towards the expenses of candidates offering themselves for election in either national or local elections?

Sir J. GILMOUR

No, Sir.
