§ 67. Mr. Leonardasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade whether he is aware that imported flash-lamp bulbs, which at the end of August were selling at 2s. 6d. per 100, have new risen to 16s. 6d.; and whether any steps are being taken to stop this profiteering?
Major Lloyd GeorgeI am aware that high prices have been charged at times for imported bulbs. The Prices of Goods Act has been applied to electric torches and accessories therefore; and if the hon. Member will furnish me with particulars of any cases which he has in mind, I will ask the appropriate Price Regulation Committee to look into them.
