§ Mr. Maurice Macmillanasked the President of the Board of Trade when his Department, with Her Majesty's Customs, decided to investigate the
218Wthe Government's prices and incomes policy. Unilever have notified me in advance of their intention to increase the prices of certain of their household detergents, and I have raised no objection.
The experience of the past two years has shown that consumers have benefited substantially from the availability of reduced price brands, and I am confident that this benefit will be maintained under the revised arrangement.
