Major GREAMEasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his Department assents to a local authority which has appointed a profiteering tribunal instructing the officers of the local authority to make purchases within its area with a view to testing prices and, if necessary, instituting proceedings under the Profiteering Act?
§ Mr. BRIDGEMANThe matters referred to in the question do not require the formal assent of the Board of Trade, and I see no ground for raising any objection to such action by the local authority.
