HC Deb 23 June 1959 vol 607 c129W
98. Mr. Harold Davies

asked the President of the Board of Trade when he now expects to receive the Report of the Monopolies and Restrictive Practices Commission on its investigations into chemical fertilisers, cigarettes and manufactured cigarette and pipe tobacco, machinery for the manufacture or packaging of cigarettes or of cigarette or pipe tobacco, and electrical equipment for mechanically-propelled land vehicles; and what further industries are now under investigation.

Mr. J. Rodgers

Friend hopes to receive the Report on chemical fertilisers before the end of July and the Report on cigarettes and manufactured cigarette and pipe tobacco and on machinery for the manufacture or packaging of cigarettes or of cigarette or pipe tobacco early in 1960. It is at present too early to say when the Report on electrical equipment for mechanically-propelled land vehicles will be ready. No other subjects are at present under investigation by the Monopolies Commission.
