54. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the President of the Board of Trade to what extent the new reference to the Monopolies Commission under Section 15 with regard to common prices and collusive tendering will affect references to particular industries already before the Commission and where one practice or the other may to some extent be involved.

The references covering the supply of particular goods will not be affected by the new reference.
