§ Mrs. Ganleyasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Central Price Regulation Committee have completed 138W their review of knitting wool prices; and whether he can now make a statement on the position.
Mr. H. WilsonI have received the Central Price Regulation Committee's report on knitting wool prices and I have decided to accept their recommendation that price control should be re-introduced. I am making an order prescribing maximum margins for importers, wholesalers and retailers of knitting wool. This order will come into force at the beginning of next month. The form of control over manufacturers' prices is under consideration.
