§ 5. Miss Burtonasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of public concern at the restrictive practices now being put into effect in petrol distribution; and if he will now refer the matter to the Monopolies Commission.
§ Mr. Walker-SmithMy right hon. Friend is aware of public concern in this matter. He is considering further references to the Commission, but he is not in a position to make any further statement at the present time.
§ Miss BurtonMay I ask the Parliamentary Secretary whether, if I send to him documentary evidence on this matter from both sides, it may perhaps hasten the President's decision?
§ Mr. Walker-SmithI am always very glad to receive communications of any sort from the hon. Lady.
