§ 61. Mr. Skinnardasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that 181W a complaint preferred by Mr. D. H. Brocklesby, 27, Marsh Lane, Stanmore, to the local Price Regulation Committee (London Region), on 26th November, 1946, is still under investigation and a report is still awaited from the Central Committee of Accounts; and whether, in order to encourage vigilance on the part of the public in cases of infringement of the price regulations, he will expedite the inquiry.
§ Sir S. CrippsYes. I regret that the investigation of this complaint has taken so long owing partly to delay by the firm in furnishing the necessary particulars of costs and partly to the need for considering wider issues raised by the particular case. I expect to receive very soon a report on this matter from the Central Price Regulation Committee.
