HC Deb 09 November 1948 vol 457 c1388
80. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is proposing to take in connection with the memorandum sent to him by the Engineering Industries Association on Price Control.

Mr. Bottomley

My right hon. Friend has studied this Memorandum and is unable to accept the suggestion that the Miscellaneous Goods (Maximum Prices) Order, 1948, should be withdrawn. The Order was introduced early this year as part of the price stabilisation policy, and the need for that is as great as ever.
