HC Deb 29 January 1957 vol 563 c150W
87. Mr. Parker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will introduce price control to prevent profiteering where shortages have arisen from the Suez crisis.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

Apart from oil, I do not think serious shortages are likely to arise. On oil, I would refer the hon. Member to the answers given by the late Minister of Fuel and Power on 3rd December to a Question by the hon. Member for Govan (Mr. Rankin).
