HC Deb 25 May 1973 vol 857 c167W
Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food on what date his Department received an application from Associated British Foods Ltd. for an increase in the price of bread; and what action he has taken to ensure that this application is processed within the due time laid down by law.

Mrs. Fenner

This firm was in touch with my Department during the standstill about the price of bread but no approval for an increase was given. Since 29th April, the Price Commission is responsible for administering the price code.
