HC Deb 05 December 1946 vol 431 c143W
106. Major Lloyd

asked the Minister of Supply why he has authorised the sale of Government surplus watches to mining undertakings at a price of £6 10s., whereas the controlled selling price to the public is £8 10s.

Mr. Leonard

The hon. and gallant Member is under a misapprehension; £8 10s. is the maximum retail price and retailers may sell below this price if they wish.
