§ 40. Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister of Supply and of Aircraft Production whether he will favourably consider the appointment of a national advisory council for the radio valve, and radio industry generally.
§ Mr. WilmotAs there exist adequate means for dealing with questions relating to this industry, there is no need to appoint a council such as my hon. Friend suggests.
§ Mr. LewisIs my right hon. Friend aware of the cartels that are being operated, and of the big combines? Does he not think it is necessary to combat such activities?
§ Mr. WilmotI do not think the method suggested by my hon. Friend in his Question would be the best one with which to deal with them.
§ Sir Ronald RossDoes the Minister think that there are sufficient valves on the market for the ordinary user of radio apparatus at present?
§ Mr. WilmotYes, Sir.
