§ Mr. Wyn Robertsasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if she will examine regional variations in bread prices, such as the extra 1p per loaf traditionally charged west of the River Conway to cover a bridge toll no longer payable; and seek to eliminate such anomalies.
§ Mr. MaclennanI am aware of the regional variations in bread prices and that prices tend to be higher in remote rural areas. This is a factor we shall need to examine in implementing the14W price regulation provisions of the Prices Bill.
