HC Deb 11 July 1944 vol 401 cc1582-3W
Mr. Ness Edwards

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that horticulturists are advertising tulip bulbs at prices 1,300 per cent. greater than prewar, grape hyacinth bulbs at 600 per cent. and narcissi 1,300 per cent. respectively; and if he will take active steps to stop this exploitation of the public.

Mr. Dalton

I am having inquiries made and shall be much obliged if my hon. Friend will send me any particulars in his possession.
