§ Mrs. Ann Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if she will make a statement about the progress of the programme of unit pricing.
§ Mr. MaclennanFollowing recent meetings with all the organisations that took part in the meat unit pricing pilot832W scheme formal proposals have now been circulated to trade and enforcement interests for comment. We expect shortly to circulate the terms of draft orders to cover all the popular hard cheeses and to finalise plans for extending unit pricing for fish. In the autumn we shall also be resuming our discussions with a view to including poultry in our programme of orders.
