HC Deb 20 November 1951 vol 494 c29W
90. Mr. G. Jeger

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will refer the nationalised industries to the Monopolies Commission for investigation.

Mr. H. Strauss

We have no power under existing legislation to refer the nationalised industries to the Monopolies Commission for investigation and report. This is one of the matters which my right hon. Friend is considering in preparing new legislation.
