HC Deb 09 February 1973 vol 850 c195W
Mr. Gorst

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to enable operators of coin-operated vending machines to increase the price charged for the goods they supply by more than 10 per cent., once VAT and Phase II of the incomes policy have been introduced, if this is necessitated by the non-availability of an appropriate coin of low value.

Mr. Higgins

No.
