(2) how many inspections have been carried out by the Price Commission's regional offices on those smaller firms in category III which are required to keep appropriate records which are liable to inspection by the Price Commission's regional offices; and if he will list the number of inspections annually from the date of inception to the latest available date region by region.

The Price Commission regularly publishes information about this aspect of its work in its quarterly reports.
