§ 23. Mr. George Craddockasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will re-introduce price control of dry batteries so that many old people and others without electricity supply in their homes are not disadvantaged by comparison with those who already have this service.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftNo, Sir. Supplies of batteries are adequate, and there is no reason to think that control would result in lower prices than those now being charged.
