Baking and Confectionery Trade

HC Deb 17 February 1966 vol 724 c1522

28. Mr. W. Hamling

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will refer to the Monopolies Commission the state of monopoly in the bread-baking and confectionery trade.

Mr. G. Darling

My right hon. Friend will bear this suggestion in mind.

Mr. Hamling

Is my hon. Friend aware that we on this side hope that he does not leave this until there are only two firms left in the business?

Mr. Darling

We shall keep the situation in mind.
