§ Mr. R. Edwardsasked the President of the Board of Trade whether his attention has been drawn to the decision of the Stowbridge Glass Manufacturers' Association to expel from membership of the association the firm of Messrs. Stuart and Sons, Limited, Wordsley, Staffordshire, because of the refusal of this firm to agree to the decision of the association to 7W increase prices by 12½ per cent.; and whether he will refer this matter to the Monopolies Commission.
§ Mr. J. RodgersI have seen a report of the matter. I understand that the Registrar of Restrictive Trading Agreements is inquiring whether the arrangements of the association constitute a registrable agreement. This is not a question for the Monopolies Commission.
