HC Deb 19 January 1981 vol 997 c8W
19. Montgomery

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he has any plans to make any references under section 13 of the Competition Act 1980.

Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

My right hon. Friend has no specific proposals in mind at present. As the rate of inflation moves downwards, it becomes less and less likely that these powers will need to be used to supplement existing competition legislation.
