§ 56. Mr. Jayasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of increasing monopoly tendencies in the manufacture of artificial limbs; and whether he will refer the industry for examination to the Monopolies Commission.
§ Sir D. EcclesI am aware of the recent developments in this industry to which the right hon. Gentleman refers. I understand that nearly all the output is sold to the Ministry of Health, which keeps a close watch on prices. In these circumstances, I do not consider that a reference to the Monopolies Commission is needed.
