§ 81. Captain Kerbyasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take steps to widen the scope of the Monopolies Commission so as to enable them to inquire into trade union restrictive practices which are slowing down the tempo of British industry as well as restrictive practices on the part of trade associations which restrict production.
