HC Deb 28 June 1967 vol 749 c102W
Mr. Anderson

asked the President of the Board of Trade if, to ensure that packaging of household goods is not used as a device for concealing price increases from the consumer, he will introduce legislation to require retailers to mark commodities with their price per pound or other unit.

Mr. Jay

No. I do not believe such a requirement to be generally necessary, and it would present considerable practical problems.
