HC Deb 25 March 1941 vol 370 c434
2. Mr. Butcher

asked the President of the Board of Trade his plans for the consolidation of the retail distributing trades consequent upon the reduced quantity of goods for sale?

Mr. Lyttelton

I propose to refer to this matter during the coming Debate on the concentration of production. I am sure that my hon. Friend will agree that this is the most convenient way of dealing with such a wide and difficult question.
