HC Deb 18 March 1948 vol 448 c268W
85. Mr. Nally

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that the Hairdressers' Trade Association is pursuing a policy of minimum price enforcement by withholding supplies of hairdressers' sundries from hairdressers who refuse to accept the Association's order to raise prices to the minimum laid down by the Association; and if he will take steps to fix prices below this present minimum.

Mr. H. Wilson

Yes. I fear my hon. Friend's proposal would not be practicable but he may rest assured that arrangements of this kind are very much in my mind in connection with the preparation of the legislation on restrictive practices which I hope to introduce this Session.
