101. Mrs. Middleton

asked the Minister of Works what steps he proposes to take to secure the implementation of the recommendations contained in the report of the Monopolies Commission concerning the supply of cast-iron rainwater goods.

102. Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Works whether he will now say what action he proposes to take to implement the report of the Monopolies Commission on cast-iron rainwater goods.

103. Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

asked the Minister of Works whether discussions to implement the Report of the Monopolies Commission on cast-iron rainwater goods have begun with the trade associations concerned.

Mr. Stokes

The Report recommends that those concerned should amend their trading arrangements in such a way as to meet certain objections, and that discussions should take place with them for this purpose. My Department has been in communication with them and discussions will take place as soon as they have had an opportunity of studying the implications of the Report.
