Sir H. O'Neill

asked the President of the Board of Trade the number of successful prosecutions in the area of the North Midland Price Regulation Committee since the inception of price control and the percentage they bear to the total number in all the areas combined.

Mr. Dalton

Since November, 1939, when price control was introduced, up to 29th February, 1944, there have been 96 successful prosecutions in the North Midland Price Regulation Committee's Area. This represents 6.3 per cent. of the total number of successful prosecutions throughout the country between the same dates.
