§ Mr. John Evansasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what increases in beer, wines and cordial prices have been allowed by the Price Commission since March 1974.
§ Mr. MaclennanDetails of price increases involving major companies with an obligation to notify the Price Commission in advance are listed in Appendices 3A and 3D of the commission's quarterly reports. The percentages quoted are usually the average for a range of products. Details of price increases by companies whose turnover is too small to oblige them to approach the commission in advance are not readily available and could not be produced without disproportionate cost.
