HC Deb 17 January 1967 vol 739 c32W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the President of the Board of Trade what action he has taken as a result of the recent £86 million deal between British Petroleum and Distillers; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jay

I have decided that, on the information at present available to me, there are no grounds which would justify my referring this merger to the Monopolies Commission.
