HC Deb 17 May 1973 vol 856 cc368-9W
Mr. Ridley

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list all the applications for price rises so far presented to the Price Commission, together with the percentage increase in prices requested, and indicate which ones have been granted, refused, and not yet determined.

Sir G. Howe

The information requested by my hon. Friend is a matter for the Price Commission whose initial two-month and subsequent quarterly reports will be laid before Parliament. I understand, however, that the Price Commission will be publishing information about all price increases for pre-notifying firms which it accepts as being within the limits set by the code.
