§ 64. Sir C. Osborneasked the President of the Board of Trade why the promised Government White Paper on Mergers and Monopolies, which is six months behind schedule, is being further delayed; why he proposes that the Monopolies Commission should be transferred to the National Board for Prices and Incomes; and when a decision will be announced.
§ Mr. CroslandNo Government White Paper has been promised, nor have I made the proposal mentioned in the Question.
In my reply to the hon. Member for Warwick and Leamington (Mr. Dudley Smith) on 6th November, I said that I was engaged on a review of the working of the Monopolies Commission. This review is still continuing.—[Vol. 772, c. 88.]
