HC Deb 06 August 1942 vol 382 cc1183-4
83. Mr. Arthur Hollins

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that a cup and saucer are being sold in the market at 1s. 10d., when the maximum price for best quality Grade A is 1s. plus 2d. Purchase Tax; and what action does he intend to take in the matter?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade (Captain Waterhouse)

In such cases complaint should be made to the local Price Regulation Committee, but if my hon. Friend will send full details to me, I will have an investigation made.
