HC Deb 02 December 1965 vol 721 cc229-30W
51. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will introduce legislation to prevent restrictive practices in services such as that by which members of one travel agents' association seek to prevent their members employing agents belonging to another travel agents' association.

Mr. Mason

No. The Monopolies and Mergers Act, 1965, already empowers me to refer to the Monopolies Commission restrictive practices in the _provision of services where I see a case for doing so.
