§ Sir J. Edenasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will publish a list of those products for which exemption under the Resale Prices Act has been claimed; and if he will now give the date on which the provisions of the Act will come into force.
§ Mr. DarlingThe first part of the Question is a matter for the Registrar of Restrictive Trading Agreements, but I understand that he hopes to publish a first list of classes of registered goods shortly, and that the lists should be subtantially complete by the end of March.
As regards the second part of the Question, the Board of Trade will bring Sections 1 to 4 of the Resale Prices Act into force about one month thereafter, in order to allow traders time to make the necessary arrangements.
