HC Deb 20 June 1944 vol 401 c41W
Mr. Wootton-Davies

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is proposing to take to deal with the black market in cosmetics.

Mr. Dalton

I made an Order on 23rd August last tightening up control over the manufacture and supply of toilet preparations. During the last six months, 38 convictions have been obtained for infringements of the Control, fines and costs amounted, in total, to about £7,000, and terms of imprisonment to about four years.
