§ 77. Mr. Dumpletonasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that curtain material for which the retail price was 9s. 10d. per yard, when available only on docket, was immediately advanced to 25s. 9d. per yard when taken off dockets; and what steps he is taking to restrain price increases of this kind.
§ Mr. BelcherNo. There can be no justification for such an advance in price and, if my hon. Friend will let me have full particulars, I shall be glad to look into the matter.
