§ Mr. Gwilym Robertsasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what study he has made of the evidence supplied to him that the manufacturers' recommended price of consumer 351W durables was frequently more than twice the wholesale price; if he will take steps to make illegal the use of the meaningless term "Manufacturer's recommended price"; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MaclennanMy right hon. Friend has taken up with the trade the Price Commission's recent Report on Small Electrical Household Appliances and Recommended Retail Prices, and has referred to the Price Commission the task of compiling information about the practice. When he has its report, he will consider whether further steps should be taken.
