HC Deb 29 October 1975 vol 898 c545W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if she will now take steps to introduce unit pricing to avoid the confusion of volume measure; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Williams

Consumers are helped most if prepackaged goods are sold in prescribed quantities, or in standardised containers. However, this is not always both economic and technically possible, and I will gladly consider specific suggestions for extending unit pricing.
