HC Deb 25 February 1965 vol 707 c134W
60. Earl of Dalkeith

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the proposed new anti-monopoly legislation will cover the operations of nationalised industries.

Mr. Jay

I cannot anticipate the detailed provisions of the Bill. The current monopolies legislation excludes from consideration monopoly conditions which have express statutory authority, and amending legislation will remain consistent with this general principle.
