HC Deb 20 May 1975 vol 892 c378W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if she will institute an inquiry into the differentials of costs of fruit, vegetables, butcher meat and certain groceries between Scotland and England.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

No. At my request the Price Commission is already investigating the reasons for any higher levels there may be in food prices in outlying areas—including a number in Scotland—as compared with price levels in other areas.
