§ 70. Mr. Shepherdasked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the undesirable practice of mentioning certain trades in the Monopoly Commissions' Report without producing any evidence whatsoever; and whether he will give consideration to the introduction of amending legislation to render this unnecessary.
§ Mr. RhodesI assume that the hon. Member is referring to the Board of Trade's Annual Report on the operation of the Monopolies and Restrictive Practices (Inquiry and Control) Act, 1948. I do not accept the implications in the first part of the Question and the answer to the second part is, therefore, "No."
