§ 54. Sir L. Plummerasked the President of the Board of Trade the average time now taken by the Monopolies Commission to investigate a case and to report on a case, respectively.
§ Mr. P. ThorneycroftAn investigation is not completed until the Commission's report is signed. For the three reports made during the three months ended last June, the average time between the making of the reference and the signature of the report was just under 23 months. But these averages are of little significance since some inquiries necessarily involve more work than others.
