HC Deb 30 June 1921 vol 143 cc2358-9W
Mr. PARKINSON

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it is intended to introduce legislation authorising the Board of Trade to exercise sur- veillance over the existence, development and activities of trade combinations on the lines of the recommendations contained in the Report of the Committee on Trusts?

Sir P. LLOYD-GREAME

As the House has been informed on several previous occasions, the Government hope to introduce in due course legislation in respect of trade combinations, but I cannot at present indicate precisely the lines on which that legislation will follow.
