HC Deb 18 April 1972 vol 835 c43W
24. Sir G. Nabarro

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimates he has made of the effect of value-added tax on food prices.

Mr. Prior

The changes announced by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer in his Budget Statement will significantly reduce the tax burden on the food industry, and I am confident that the savings will be fully reflected in consumer prices.
