HC Deb 18 April 1944 vol 399 cc35-6W
Sir Smedley Crooke

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that insufficient publicity is given to the objects of the Goods and Services (Price Control) Acts of 1939-44, and the various maximum price Orders made thereunder; and will he consider arranging with the B.B.C. for regular broadcasts in the interest of both the public and the trader on lines similar to the well-known kitchen front.

Mr. Dalton

Price control is one of our best defences against inflation and profiteering, and I share my hon. Friend's desire that this Act and the Orders made under it shall be fully understood. I am grateful to the Press and the B.B.C. for their help, and I shall continue to do all I can to obtain suitable publicity on this subject.
