§ Sir B. Rhys Williamsasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if she will publish a table showing the effects of the changes since 1972 in the prices of the items entering 650W into normal regular household expenditure and used for compilation of the index of retail prices, expressing the changes in money terms per household per week and using the quantities reasonably appropriate to households consisting of a single person, a married couple, a retirement pensioner couple and couples with one, two, three and four children.
§ Mr. MaclennanAn approximate answer, covering six out of the seven household types referred to in the Questions and the years 1972 to 1974, was sent to the hon. Member last June and a copy has been placed in the Library. This answer cannot be expanded without disproportionate expenditure.
