38. Mr. Colin Shepherd

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will list the prices that have been referred under section 13 of the Competition Act 1980.

Mrs. Sally Oppenheim

No references have yet been made by my right hon. Friend under these powers. The very satisfactory fall in the rate of inflation and the extremely competitive atmosphere in trade and industry are obviating any need for such references and are greatly benefiting consumers.
