HC Deb 27 June 1969 vol 785 cc329-30W
Mr. Milne

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the investigations carried out by his Department on the economic effects of advertising on price levels in the field of retail distribution.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

The Board has conducted no investigations into this subject generally, though it has considered the effects of advertising on particular price levels.

Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and the English regions as required. Additionally, they maintain regular contact with my Department's Scottish Office and Research Establishments in Scotland and with the Scottish Information Office.
