HC Deb 25 July 1967 vol 751 cc118-9W
Sir C. Osborne

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will give an assurance that there will be no increase in the price of bread during the summer adjournment.

Mr. Peart

Under the Early Warning arrangements, I have to be given 28 days' notice of any proposal to increase bread prices and this would have to be considered in relation to the criteria for price increases set out in the White Paper "Prices and Incomes Policy after 30th June, 1967" (Cmnd. 3255). But as I told the hon. Member on 12th July, I have received no such notification.—[Vol. 750, c. 99.]
