HC Deb 08 November 1971 vol 825 c92W
Mr. Wyn Roberts

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how the rise in world food prices compares with the rise in food prices within the European Economic Community over the last 10 years.

Mr. Prior

Between 1960 and 1970 indices of the price paid for food by the consumer increased by percentages ranging from 21 to 49 in E.E.C. countries. No comparable index on a world-wide basis is available.
