HC Deb 27 October 1975 vol 898 cc377-8W
Mr. Hardy

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if she will take steps to prohibit the fixing of adhesive labels upon books where these are used to signify an increase in price.

Mr. Maclennan

This would not be appropriate. Books are exempted from the restrictions on re-pricing contained in the Price Code since they are goods which were exempted from the restrictions on resale price maintenance by an order made under the Resale Prices Act 1964.
