HC Deb 14 October 1946 vol 427 cc122-3W
96. Mr. Bossom

asked the Minister of Supply if, when releasing further surplus wrist watches, he will establish a fixed price to avoid confusion such as resulted from the various charges made when similar releases were made in the past.

Mr. Wilmot

No, Sir, for reasons which I have already explained in a letter to the hon. Member. The Clocks and Watches (No. 1) Order establishes maximum retail prices. If retailers wish to sell at lower prices I see no reason why the public should not benefit.
