Mrs. Adamsonasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he has considered the proposals of the Central Price Regulation Committee for tightening up the present arrangements for control of prices of second-hand furniture; and if he can now make a statement.
§ Mr. DaltonThese and other proposals have been examined, and detailed plans are now being worked out, from which a scheme for the better control of these prices will, I hope, emerge. As my hon. Friend is aware, this problem has proved to be one of great difficulty, and I cannot as yet give a more definite answer.
