§ Mr. LUNNasked the President of the Board of Trade whether it is proposed to continue the Profiteering Act, which is only to be in force for six months; and whether, in view of the failure of the Profiteering Act to prevent a continuous rise in prices since it came into operation, he will consider some more effective method of dealing with rising prices?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. With regard to the last part of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my hon. 637W Friend the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade to the hon. Member for Aberdare on the 18th November.
