§ Sir Smedley Crookeasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the difficulty experienced by Price Regulation Committees in understanding the many Orders and Regulations issued; whether he will have all future Orders made out in simpler language, leaving a margin for explanatory notes and, where advisable, giving a diagram which will help both his committees and the traders concerned?
§ Mr. DaltonI am anxious that these Orders should be as simple as the complexity of their subject matter, and the fact that they have to be interpreted by the courts, will allow. Explanatory notes have been, and will continue to be, printed with Orders which might otherwise be difficult to understand; but these are more conveniently printed at the end of the Order than in the margin.
