HC Deb 16 October 1973 vol 861 c89W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many officials were involved in assessing the prices charged for bacon at 450 retail shops; and how many retailers' accounts were subsequently examined; and what was the total cost of this inquiry.

Mrs. Fenner

This was an inquiry by the Price Commission and was undertaken by its regional offices as part of its normal duties. No staff were specially engaged for this inquiry.
