HC Deb 09 May 1967 vol 746 c182W
Mr. Molloy

asked the Minister of Power what arrangements he intends to make to prevent the distributive trade increasing ordinary and smokeless fuel prices over the next year.

Mr. Marsh

The Government's prices policy for the 12 months following the period of severe restraint applies to coal distribution as to any other trade. The coal trade associations have given good co-operation during the earlier stages of the Prices Policy and I expect this to continue.
