HC Deb 22 July 1943 vol 391 cc1097-8W
Mr. J. Griffiths

asked the Prime Minister whether he will give consideration to the desirability of ensuring that, after the cessation of hostilities, no British firm or association of firms shall enter into arrangements, or join a cartel or similar organisation with British or foreign firms or associations, for the purpose of restricting production, the fixation of prices or allocation of markets without the prior consent of the Government; and that the terms of any such arrangement be laid before Parliament for approval before it becomes operative?

The Prime Minister

This question is already receiving consideration along with other questions of post-war economic policy.
