HC Deb 18 May 1971 vol 817 c241W
23. Mr. Leadbitter

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what price reductions have now taken place because of his proposals for selective employment tax; and what change in the level of price increases has taken place since 31st March, 1971.

Mr. Maurice Macmillan

A number of price reductions have been announced by retailers and others in anticipation of the July cut in S.E.T., but it is not possible to make any quantitative assessment.
