HC Deb 18 March 1971 vol 813 cc384-5W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a detailed list giving the rise in prices and costs of all items of goods or services for which he has to give Ministerial approval or sanction, which has taken place between 18th June, 1970, and Thursday, 11th March, 1971.

Mr. Higgins

The cost of providing a detailed list would involve a disproportionate expenditure of time and effort.
