HC Deb 23 July 1969 vol 787 c373W
51. Mr. Ridley

asked the President of the Board of Trade by what authority he has required Proctor and Gamble and Unilever Limited to undertake not to withdraw reduced-price washing powders from the market without prior discussion with his department.

Mr. Dell

The two companies have agreed voluntarily that they will continue to make the reduced price washing powders available and, in particular, that they will not withdraw the two reduced price soap powders, Sunlight and Oxydol, from the market without prior discussion with the Board of Trade.
