HC Deb 10 November 1949 vol 469 c1373
8. Mr. Albu

asked the President of the Board of Trade what evidence he has of manufacturers, since the cut in margins on utility goods, refusing to supply direct to retailers.

The President of the Board of Trade (Mr. Harold Wilson)

None, Sir.

Mr. Albu

If I draw the attention of my right hon. Friend to cases where manufacturers have set up "phoney" wholesale organisations in order to take the extra margin, will he look into this matter?

Mr. Wilson

Yes, I shall be glad to look into such cases.
