Mr. De Chair

asked the Minister of Labour what are the principal retail prices of English and imported food, respec-

falls within the scope of a trade board, and I will inform the hon. Member of the result.

Mr. Mainwaring

asked the Minister of Labour whether, in connection with the introduction of new industries into the trading estates, any stipulation is made in relation to the rates of wages to be paid having regard to the fact that they are already industrialised areas?

Mr. Butler

There is no power in the Special Areas Acts to regulate the rates of wages to be paid by industries on the trading estates.
