HC Deb 16 June 1966 vol 729 c312W
81. Mr. Will Owen

asked the President of the Board of Trade what consideration he has given to the recommendation in the Report of the National Board for Prices and Incomes on Bread and Flour Prices that considerable economies could be obtained if manufacturers could agree on an apportionment of streets between them instead of competing in the same streets; and what action he proposes to take to facilitate such economies by appropriate amendments to the Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1956.

Mr. Darling

I do not consider that this recommendation is a sufficient justification for amending the Restrictive Trade Practices Act.
