HC Deb 20 March 1979 vol 964 c521W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if he will refer the increase in rentals for new telephone hand-sets to the Price Commission.

Mr. Maclennan

Responsibility for deciding whether to investigate particular prices or increases in them lies with the Price Commission. In making its decision, the Commission takes careful account of complaints by consumers.
