HC Deb 20 December 1976 vol 923 c7W
35. Mr. Heffer

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what steps he is taking to control prices, and especially the price increases due to membership of the EEC.

Mr. Hattersley

Prices and profits of manufacturers, service firms and distributors are limited by the Price Code and closely monitored by the Price Commission. Increases in CAP support prices are subject to negotiation in the Council of Ministers.
