HC Deb 17 July 1978 vol 954 cc6-7W
46. Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection whether he has any plans to take steps to examine the price of bread.

Mr. Maclennan

No. The Monopolies and Mergers Commission made a thorough investigation into the supply of flour and bread, and its report was published in July last year. I am not persuaded that a further investigation could be justified at this time.
