HC Deb 06 April 1973 vol 854 c163W
Mr. Golding

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will list the items of food which have not increased in price since June 1970.

Mrs. Fenner

On the basis of information collected for the purposes of the Index of Retail Food Prices, old potatoes, hearted cabbage, carrots and onions were all cheaper on 20th February 1973, the latest date for which information is available, than on 16th June 1970. Comparisons over this period are of course affected by seasonal factors.
