HC Deb 12 April 1962 vol 657 cc1504-5
42. Mr. Jay

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will now make a statement about the Government's policy on resale price maintenance.

The President of the Board of Trade (Mr. F. J. Enroll)

No, Sir. This is a complicated matter and I have not yet completed my study of the results of the fact-finding inquiry conducted by my Department.

Mr. Jay

Is this not yet another subject on which the Board of Trade has been engaged in active consideration for months, if not years past? Can the right hon. Gentleman say if there is any prospect on his making up his mind on this one?

Mr. Erroll

I have every hope of making up my mind.
