HC Deb 26 March 1979 vol 965 c22W
Mr. Walter Johnson

asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if he will refer to the Price Commission any further increase in the price of potatoes.

Mr. Maclennan

Both retail and wholesale prices for potatoes are monitored regularly by the Price Commission under its standing reference on fresh food prices. Its findings do not suggest that closer scrutiny would be justified at present.
