HC Deb 16 January 1945 vol 407 cc56-7W
Mr. Liddall

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the large number of radio repair firms which have started in business; that many are exploiting the public by high charges for unsatisfactory work; and, as this practice is detrimental to the established trade and particularly to traders now in the Forces, whether he will reconsider, in conjunction with the appropriate trade organisation, the desirability for withdrawing or amending S.R. & O., 2468, 1942.

Mr. Dalton

The Central Price Regulation Committee are investigating the possibility of controlling radio repair charges, but there are great practical difficulties. The Order, to which my hon. Friend refers, was made because I was anxious, as I still am, that there should be the widest possible facilities for repairs.
