HC Deb 23 July 1976 vol 915 c666W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what the actual estimated rise in the cost of living and retail price index will be as a result of the 25 per cent. increase in the price of tinplate; and whether he will give a breakdown showing to what extent these increases will apply to canned foods, tinplate for industry generally and consumer goods in particular.

Mr. Harold Walker

I regret that no reliable estimate is available.
