HC Deb 15 April 1946 vol 421 cc2325-6
15. Mr. W. Shepherd

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many successful prosecutions have been undertaken against the furnishing company of Messrs. Jays, and its associated concerns, for infringement of price regulations.

Mr. Belcher

Since April, 1943, there have been 11 successful prosecutions under the Goods and Services (Price Control) Acts, 1939 to 1943, against this group of companies; six against one company and five against another.

Mr. Shepherd

How long does the Minister intend to allow this company to have a cynical disregard for the price regulations?

Mr. Belcher

I would like to have notice of that question.
