4. Mr. E. Fletcher

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many agreements have been registered under Section 10 of the Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1956.

Sir D. Eccles

The Registrar has stated that about 1,200 agreements had been sent to him by the end of the first registration period on 28th February.

Mr. Fletcher

Can the President of the Board of Trade say when these agreements will be available for public inspection?

Sir D. Eccles

On 15th April, on payment of 1s.

Mr. Jay

Can the President say when he expects the Restrictive Practices Court to start functioning?

Sir D. Eccles

I cannot say that now because there is still quite a lot of work to be done.
