HC Deb 07 April 1971 vol 815 c199W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will make a detailed statement showing on what basis of stated facts and figures he estimates that this recent Farm Price Review will affect less than one quarter of 1 per cent. on the General Index of Retail Prices.

Mr. Prior

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave him on 23rd March. Food accounts for about a quarter of the General Index of Retail Prices.—[Vol. 814, c.81.]
