HC Deb 18 March 1971 vol 813 c398W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a detailed list giving the rise in prices and costs of all items of goods or services for which he has to give Ministerial approval or sanction, which has taken place between 18th June, 1970, and Thursday, 11th March, 1971.

Mr. Prior

I approved an increase in the maximum prices of milk on 30th August, 1970, and minor adjustments to these prices made necessary by decimalisation on 15th February, 1971. Information on the charges for the many services for which my Department is responsible could not be provided without disproportionate cost.
