§ Mr. Powellasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will instruct the Price Commission to withdraw its advertisements directed to wholesalers, retailers and other distributive trades with a view to eliminating the implication that the Price and Pay Code is legally binding upon companies, and to ensure that further such advertisements are free from this implication.
§ Sir G. HoweIf any enterprise disregards the provisions of the Price and Pay Code it may face action by the Price Commission under Section 6 of the Counter-Inflation Act, 1973. In view of this, I do not consider that the Price Commission's advertisements contained any unwarranted implication.
