HC Deb 24 July 1967 vol 751 cc63-4W
Mr. Biffen

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs if he will circulate in the OFFICIAL REPORT a list of references currently before the National Board for Prices and Incomes, showing the date the reference was gazetted, the date when the publication of the report of the Board was originally expected and any subsequent revisions in that date.

Mr. Frederick Lee

A list of references currently before the National Board for Prices and Incomes, with the dates on which they were gazetted, is set out below.

Although the Act requires the Board's reports to be published within three months of the date the reference was gazetted, my right hon. Friend is empowered to extend this period. There are a number of cases in particular references involving considerable research or a major examination of the structure of an industry, in which a considerably longer period is necessary for the Board to do a satisfactory job.
