HC Deb 12 February 1957 vol 564 c1068
34. Mr. G. Jeger

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the decision of the Electric Lamp Manufacturers Association to dissolve itself; and whether he intends to take action to induce similar associations to take the same step.

Mr. Walker-Smith

I have seen reports that the Electric Lamp Manufacturers Association is to be dissolved. One of the objects of the registration procedures of the Restrictive Trade Practices Act is to induce industry to review their restrictive trading arrangements.
