§ Mrs. Ann Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what is the average price of a gallon of anti-freeze; how this compares with the price 12 months ago; and what is the reason for the increase.
§ Mr. MaclennanAnti-freeze this year is selling at prices nearly three times higher than those prevailing 12 months ago. Anti-freeze is produced from ethylene glycol and the price of that product has risen substantially as a result of the pressures of world demand and the five-fold increase in the cost of crude oil from which it is derived.
