§ Mr. Oakesasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what notification he has received about an agreement between the three main sugar refining companies; and if he will refer this agreement to the Monopolies Commission.
§ Sir G. HoweI have been kept informed of the progress of the discussions about the sugar industry, but I understand that no final conclusions have yet been reached. The question of reference of an agreement to the Monopolies Commission does not therefore arise.
