FOR PRESS DISCUSSION ON RESTRICTIVE TRADE PW4CTICES
Statement bV tq. Prime Minister,_ th t. Hn Sir Robr
Menzie s
Over a considerable period of time,
Ministers have heard representations and comments from
various representative groups in relation to the proposed
Trade Practices Legislation. These have proved of
considerable value to us in considering a very complex
problem. 1e indicated to these groups that we wiould
hear them again before actually introducing a bill. We
have done this today. The bill will be introduced tonight
but the debate will not be resumed until the Budget Session
after the Parliamentary recess. There will, therefore, be
ample time for us to consider all the comments we have
heard and, of course, such further comments as will emerge
when the terms of the bill become public knowledge and those
affected have had a full opportunity for closely studying
those terms.
