HC Deb 01 July 1976 vol 914 c300W
Dr. Phipps

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what effect the rise in the intervention price for white sugar on 1st July 1976 will have on the retail price of sugar.

Mr. Bishop

The intervention price for white sugar is only one factor bearing on domestic prices of sugar. I understand that each of the United Kingdom sugar refining companies is at present expecting to hold its prices of sugars in retail packs for at least two months.
