Mr. Creech Jonesasked the President of the. Board of Trade what complaints he has received of profiteering in yarn prices or manufactured woollen goods; and whether there are any proposals to extend control from the raw material to the whole trade?
Major Lloyd GeorģeMy right hon. Friend has received a number of complaints about increases in the price of woollen yarns and manufactures. Inquiries are being made of the firms concerned as to the reasons for these increases. The question how far it may be necessary to extend the control of prices must depend upon circumstances.
