§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Trade how many of the staff from the Price Commission will be transferred to the Office of Fair Trading and the Monopolies Commission to assist them in their new responsibilities.
§ Mrs. Sally OppenheimIt is likely that some of the present staff of the Price Commission will be employed by the Office of Fair Trading and the Monopolies and Mergers Commission following the enactment of our proposals to strengthen competition policy. The exact number has yet to be determined, though the additional staff requirements will be very much less than the present number employed by the Price Commission.
