Vol. 215 No. 9

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Price and Profit Controls.

29.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce what goods are still subject to price or profit controls; and if he will state to what extent he has powers to prevent profiteering.

The answer to the first part of the Deputy's question is that statutory price control is at present exercised only in relation to the retail price of bottled milk in the Dublin Sale District.

As regards the second part of the question, my powers of intervention in relation to the charging of excessive prices for goods or services lie in the provisions of the Prices Act, 1958.
