HC Deb 20 November 1972 vol 846 cc296-7W
Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the standstill under Command Paper No. 5125 applies to prices in contracts which were signed before 6th November, 1972, where such prices were due to be charged on 1st January, 1973, at a price higher than they would have been on 6th November, 1972.

Mr. Nott

Yes: the principles of the standstill apply to these cases.
