HC Deb 21 April 1947 vol 436 c591
25. Mr. Hurd

asked the Minister of Supply if the price control regulations limiting the prices of second-hand tractors have been observed at all the auctions held under the auspices of his Department.

The Minister of Supply (Mr. John Wilmot)

Yes, Sir, except in isolated cases.

Mr. Hurd

How can there be isolated cases? Surely, one law must obtain for Government Departments as well as private individuals at these auction sales?

Mr. Wilmot

That is so. There were one or two small slips and mistakes.
