§ 29. Mr. Gwilym Robertsasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what further consideration he has given to the use of the term manufacturer's recommended price in selling electrical appliances and other consumer durables; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. John FraserMy right hon. Friend is still considering whether to direct the Commission to examine sectors where this practice appears to be prevalent. The Price Commission Act 1977 permits the Secretary of State to regulate or prohibit the use of recommended resale prices in particular sectors following an examination and in consequence of the Commission's advice.
