HC Deb 22 November 1967 vol 754 cc348-9W
80. Mr. Higgins

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many qualified economists are now employed on the staff of the Monopolies Commission; what plans he has for increasing the number; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Darling

The Monopolies Commission does not at present employ an economist on its staff, but steps are being taken to recruit one. The Commission itself includes four economists.
