§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will publish a table of figures showing to what extent food prices will rise in January 1978 when Great Britain's transitional entry ends.
§ Mr. BishopRetail food prices are affected by a number of factors, including the level of demand and the availability of supplies. The effects of the final changes under the Treaty of Accession may be spread over a considerable period and I cannot predict how they will affect prices in January.
