HC Deb 31 January 1968 vol 757 cc348-9W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs what has been the effect of devaluation on the prices in Scotland of bread, petrol, tea and cigarettes.

Mr. Frederick Lee

My right hon. Friend is not aware of any increases in these prices due to devaluation. In the case of bread, notification of a price increase for the standard loaf has been given and is under examination. If the hon. Member has any information concerning increases in such prices since devaluation, I will examine it.
