HC Deb 04 April 1950 vol 473 cc130-1W
78. Mr. Gibson

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether in view of the price-rings in the sand and ballast industry and of the heavy costs which this imposes on local authority house building and road repairs, he will refer this industry to the Monopolies Commission for examination and early report.

Mr. Bottomley

We will certainly consider referring the supply of this commodity to the Commission for investigation and report when the time comes to make the next set of references.
