HC Deb 30 July 1953 vol 518 c211W
105. Mr. Harold Davies

asked the Minister of Works if he is aware of the 10 per cent. increase in the cost of glass to horticulturists; and whether he will now take steps to control the selling price of horticultural glass.

Sir D. Eccles

I assume the reference is to the increase in price which took place in January of this year. This followed increases in manufacturing and other costs including an advance in wage rates. I see no reason to re-impose the control of prices.
