§ 52. Mr. Wallaceasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will introduce legislation providing for the marking of prices per pound on fresh meat and fish.
§ Mrs. FennerNo. My right hon. Friend does not believe that compulsion is the right approach. Good progress in being made by voluntary means to improve the price information available when housewives shop for fresh food. For example, as the hon. Member will know, the Meat and Livestock Commission and meat retailers are co-operating in displaying prices per pound for the most popular cuts of carcase meat. We warmly welcome this.
