§ 149. Sir J. Mellorasked the Minister of Works with reference to the Sanitary Fireclay Ware (Prices) (Amendment) Order, 1946 (S.R. & O., 1946, No. 1096), if he will explain the circumstances in which he proposes to discriminate between individual contracts for purposes of price control.
§ Mr. H. WilsonIt may prove necessary in order to obtain rapid production of large quantities of a particular article to require firms to take action which will un-116W balance their production programme as a whole, and in such circumstances may justify for the particular contract a price in excess of the maximum otherwise allowed by the Order. It is to enable my right hon. Friend to take the necessary action to deal with circumstances of this nature that the amendment to the Order has been made.
