HC Deb 17 July 1974 vol 877 c176W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection, if she will take action to control price increases in sugar in Scotland as a result of the growing scarcity of sugar.

Mr. Maclennan

The consent of the Price Commission is required to price increases other than those which are controlled by EEC legislation. My right hon. Friend has no plans at present to introduce further controls on sugar prices, which reflect a tight supply position.
