§ 49. Mr. Errollasked the Minister of Supply why deposited schedules to the Iron and Steel Prices Orders are not available for distribution or sale to those manufacturers and distributors likely to be affected by them.
§ Mr. SandysOwing to their bulk, complete deposited schedules have since price control was introduced in 1939, never been distributed or sold. They are, however, available for inspection at certain places.
§ Mr. ErrollIs it not the case that certain trade associations have copies and that this gives an advantage to those who are members of such trade associations over those who are not?
§ Mr. SandysAbbreviated schedules relating to the range of products most commonly in use are widely circulated to manufacturers and particulars of price changes are published in trade journals. Also, my hon. Friend might like to know that a complete set is in the Library and, I am told, it stands a foot high.
