§ 48. Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if, in order to discourage differential trading and protect the consumer, he will consider introducing legislation similar to the United States Robinson-Patman Act, a copy of which is in his possession, and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir J. EdenNo. The evidence suggests that such legislation would give rise to considerable anomalies and be unlikely to achieve the advantages intended by my hon. Friend.
