63. Mr. Jay

asked the President of the Board of Trade what is Her Majesty's Government's present policy on resale price maintenance.

Mr. Erroll

The present policy of Her Majesty's Government on resale price maintenance is to administer the provisions of Sections 24 and 25 of the Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1956.

Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he has yet completed his inquiry into resale price maintenance; and if he will make a statement about this before the House adjourns for Christmas.

Mr. Erroll

I am still studying the results of the fact-finding inquiry into this subject which my officials have recently completed. I cannot say when I shall be in a position to make a statement.
