HC Deb 01 December 1937 vol 329 cc2092-3W
Mr. Edwards

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will introduce legislation to make illegal the form of trading known as snowball trading to which his attention has been drawn by the hon. Member for Middlesbrough East (Mr. Edwards)?

Captain Wallace

As the hon. Member was informed on 17th November, my right hon. Friend is prepared to consider any representations made to him as a result of investigations made by organisations representing traders in the area affected. The Board of Trade have received reports of a meeting held in Middlesbrough at which the matter was discussed and they are seeking further information.
