§ 37. Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of Food, in view of the fact that the retail price of 7 lb. of potatoes is fixed for most brands at 1 s. 3½d., whether he will take steps to compel retailers to exhibit this price, since many of them charge their customers 2½d. per lb. whatever quantity they purchase.
Dr. HillRetailers are under a statutory obligation to display the maximum retail prices for quantities of 1 lb. and 7 lb. of potatoes. If the hon. Member knows of specific instances where this requirement is being ignored, I will inquire into them.
