HC Deb 08 March 1976 vol 907 c75W
32. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if she will take steps to ensure that when a price is quoted it must include any tax which the consumer must pay in order to buy the goods or services to which it relates.

Mr. Alan Williams

The Director General of Fair Trading has put forward tentative proposals for dealing with this problem. He is now studying the responses before deciding whether to make a reference to the Consumer Protection Advisory Committee under Part II of the Fair Trading Act.
