HC Deb 26 July 1971 vol 822 cc12-3W
57. Mr. Tebbit

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will seek powers to ensure that the amount of the contents of packaged goods are stated in a uniform manner for each category of goods, so that shoppers may readily calculate and compare the unit price of packs of various sizes and of different manufacturers.

Sir J. Eden

I have no powers to require unit pricing under existing legislation. However, I will bear the suggestion in mind for when further legislation in this field is being considered.
