HC Deb 13 July 1950 vol 477 cc114-5W
67. Mr. A. Lewis

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take the necessary action to make it obligatory for all goods being sold retail on barrows, stalls or in shops, to be properly and plainly marked as to the purchase price by the vendors concerned.

Mr. H. Wilson

No. Some kind of price-controlled goods must be marked with their maximum prices, but I have no power to require retail traders to mark their selling prices on all goods.
