HC Deb 11 December 1968 vol 775 c127W
48. Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware that certain cosmetics in general use are now more expensive than precious metals; if he will consider submitting the price of certain cosmetics to the National Board for Prices and Incomes; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dell

I am considering referring to the National Board for Prices and Incomes manufacturers' prices in the toilet preparations industry and have recently consulted the trade associations concerned on the terms of such a reference, which would cover cosmetics.
