HC Deb 21 March 1951 vol 485 c282W
64. Mr. A. Evans

asked the Minister of Food why the maximum price of a quarter-pound packet of cocoa is to be raised by 2d. whilst the maximum price of a half-pound packet is to be raised by only 3d.; and if he will state the reasons for this variation of increase.

Mr. Webb

The reason is that the smaller pack is more expensive to produce and distribute.
