HC Deb 28 January 1976 vol 904 c246W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if she she will institute an investigation into the recent announcements by potato crisp manufacturers of price increases, to ensure that current prices are not based on contracts agreed when potato prices were lower.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The increases by the major manufacturers, of which the most recent was announced in early December, were notified to the Price Commission and found to be compatible with the Price Code.
