HC Deb 24 March 1971 vol 814 cc127-8W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council if, in view of the reduction in food prices in general following decimalisation, and in the wholesale and retail prices of pork and bacon in particular, he will now take steps to bring about equal price reductions in the Members' dining room, cafeteria and tea room.

Dr. Bennett

I have been asked to reply.

Prices charged are based on average prices over a period, and not on day-to-day fluctuations.
