HC Deb 16 May 1947 vol 437 cc192-3W
Mr. Byers

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many U.S. motorcars have been imported into this country through the Irish Free State in the last 12 month; and what supervision exists to prevent their resale in this country at exorbitant prices.

Sir S. Cripps

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Widnes (Mr. Shawcross) on 11th February. I understand from my right hon. Friend the Minister of Supply, that there is no Government control on the prices of either new or used private motorcars in the United Kingdom.
