HC Deb 29 June 1920 vol 131 cc280-2W
Major BARNES

asked the President of the Board of Trade when he proposes to introduce the Bill dealing with trade combines and trusts promised by his predecessor?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I regret that I am not in a position to make any statement on this matter at present in view of the state of Parliamentary business. I would, however, remind the hon. and gallant Member that investigations as to the extent and operation of trusts and combinations are being conducted by the Central Committee under the Profiteering Act.
