HC Deb 19 April 1977 vol 930 c35W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection whether, in the light of the fact that British Rail has again increased the charges for meals and snacks on trains, this being the second time in four months of such increases, he will refer these and past increases to the Price Commission.

Mr. Maclennan

All proposed increases in British Rail charges for meals and snacks on trains are, as a matter of course, prenotified to the Price Commission, which may modify or reject them, if it finds them unjustified.
