§ Mr. Macleanasked the Minister of Supply why firms in Scotland, who are not members of the Forgemasters Federation, were asked to go to London to see the schedule of maximum prices for forgings; whether this schedule was, after two months, sent to Glasgow for examination but not for copying; and whether this schedule was sent to the office of the Ministry of Supply in Glasgow or to the office of the Iron and Steel Control in Glasgow?
§ Mr. BurginOne firm in Scotland has made inquiries regarding the schedule of maximum prices for forgings. They were given the option of inspecting the long and complicated schedule of these prices in London, where they have a representative, or of supplying details of the particular forgings in which they were interested, so that the prices could be communicated to them. They chose the 607W latter alternative, but did not supply sufficient details to enable prices to be ascertained. Eventually, to meet their convenience, a copy of the schedule was sent to the office of the Iron and Steel Control of the Ministry of Supply in Glasgow and the firm was given an opportunity to inspect the schedule there and to make copies of extracts from it.
