HC Deb 29 October 1945 vol 415 cc188-9W
Major C. Poole

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that users of radio valves are being compelled to pay high prices through the operations of the B.V.A. ring; and what action does he propose to take to make this commodity available at economic prices.

Sir S. Cripps

I am asking the Central Price Regulation Committee to make inquiry and report to me whether the prices at present being charged for radio valves are, in their opinion, fair prices.
