HC Deb 22 October 1969 vol 788 c285W
35. Mr. W. T. Williams

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will seek power to issue regulations to require stores selling packaged household goods to label them with the price per unit of quantity.

Mrs. Gwyneth Dunwoody

I do not think it would be appropriate to impose this obligation generally, but if in a particular case no better means can be found to enable the shopper to compare prices, I should be prepared to consider whether such a requirement would be practicable.
