HC Deb 05 June 1967 vol 747 c141W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs if he will give details of those price increases included in the 9,000 reports he received during the past six months which were justified.

Mr. Frederick Lee

As I explained in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Woolwich, West (Mr. Hamling) on 11th May the majority of the price increases in question were justified. Details of the large number of cases involved could be provided only by a disproportionate expenditure of time and money.—[Vol. 746, c. 1680–81.]
