§ Colonel M. ALEXANDERasked the Minister of Health if his attention has been drawn to a recent judgment in the United States, under which heavy penalties have been imposed on many directors and firms of the Sanitary Potters' Association, which produces most of the bathroom fixtures used in America, for conspiring, under the Anti-Trust Law, to restrain trade and fix prices in a commodity vital for proper housing; and whether he is prepared to enact similar legislation in this country in the immediate future so as not to impede the efforts which are now being made to relieve the housing shortage?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. With regard to the second part, as at present advised, I am not prepared to introduce legislation, but the Government will keep the situation under review in the light of the Reports received from the Committee on Prices of Building Materials.
