HC Deb 04 March 1965 vol 707 c278W
44. Mr. Dell

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he proposes to take to speed the abolition of resale price maintenance, having regard to the long list of products for which applications for exemptions under the Resale Prices Act has been registered.

Mr. Jay

The first step is to refer classes of registered goods to the Restrictive Practices Court. This is a matter for the Registrar of Restrictive Trading Agreements. I understand that notices of reference were issued on 1st March in respect of confectionery and footwear.
