HC Deb 19 March 1957 vol 567 cc30-1W
64. Mr. A. J. Irvine

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many of the agreements, particulars of which had been delivered to the Registrar of Restrictive Trading Agreements by mid-day on 28th February, 1957, were referable to each of the classes of agreement set out in the schedule to the Registration of Restrictive Trading Agreements Order, 1956.

Mr. Walker-Smith

The way in which agreements are classified is, under the Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1956, a matter for the Registrar to decide. The Registrar is at present entering and classifying agreements and I cannot say whether when the register is open to the public next month he will be able to give the particulars for which the hon. Member asks. The public will be able to inspect the register on payment of a shilling a day.
