HC Deb 24 November 1966 vol 736 cc354-5W
56. Mr. Drayson

asked the Minister of Power if he is aware that the Barnoldswick Co-operative Society have increased the price of coke from 12s. 3d. to 13s. 6d. per hundredweight from 1st November; and to what extent this is compatible with the Government's prices and incomes policy as set out in the Prices and Incomes (General Considerations) Order No. 1021, 1966.

Dr. Bray

I understand that the Society increased its prices by 1s. per cwt. on 1st November when the summer discount ended. There was also an increase of 3d. a cwt. in September, about which I am making inquiries and will write to the hon. Member.
