HC Deb 13 December 1971 vol 828 c14W
Mr. Barnett

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether, in the light of recent price increases, he remains satisfied with the response by both public and private sectors of industry to the Confederation of British Industry's initiative for voluntary price restraint; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ridley

The response has been generally very good in both sectors of industry, and has been reflected in significant signs of improvement in the indices for wholesale and retail prices.
