HC Deb 16 April 1918 vol 105 c244W
Mr. KING

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that war-time boots must be sold by retail traders at fixed prices whilst co-operative societies may return to purchasers 15 per cent. on the value; and whether it is intended that fixed-price articles should be thus sold at different cost by different classes of traders?

Mr. FORSTER

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave on the 11th instant to my hon. Friend the Member for Tiverton, of which I am sending him a copy.
