asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what was the cost to public funds of the price check scheme.

Mr. Maclennan

On the cost of monitoring the scheme I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to him on 29th March 1976; on the cost of publicising it, to the reply given to the hon. Member for Cirencester and Tewkesbury (Mr. Ridley) on 30th January 1976; on the cost of administration, to the reply given to the hon. Member for Louth (Mr. Brotherton) on 1st March 1976. Nothing has happened since to modify the information given in those replies.
