HC Deb 17 June 1969 vol 785 cc76-7W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware that up to 300 complaints per week of price increases are being referred to the National Board for Prices and Incomes by the public who are being advised that such complaints should be referred to the appropriate Ministry; how many of such complaints have been referred to him; and what action he has taken or intends taking to advertise that complaints should be made to his Department.

Mr. K. Robinson

I understand that so far this year complaints to the National Board for Prices and Incomes about price increases have averaged 116 a week. Of these, not more than 20 a week are referred to the Department. I do not think any action by my right hon. Friend is called for.
