HC Deb 10 January 1977 vol 923 cc365-6W
Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection whether he will take action to reduce profit margins in television rentals under the prices policy.

Mr. Maclennan

Following the Price Commission's Report on TV Rentals, my right hon. Friend used his powers to withdraw investment relief for television receivers and obtained from the main specialist companies undertakings to freeze their rentals and absorb cost increases up to July next. He does not propose to take further action.
