§ 62. Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of Food whether he will consider controlling the price of potato crisps, in view of the fact that in some places they are being sold at a rate equivalent to 8s. 6d. a pound.
§ Mr. StracheyI am satisfied that the great bulk of the output of potato crisps is sold at prices little more than half the price stated by my hon. Friend. Consumers should certainly refuse to pay anything like this price, but the commodity is not one that would lend itself very readily to price control.
