HC Deb 27 January 1981 vol 997 c393W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what estimate is made by the European Economic Community Commission as to the increase in United Kingdom food prices arising from the United Kingdom refusal to revalue the green pound.

Mr. Peter Walker

Inquiries of the Commission have failed to trace any estimate from it of the reduction in United Kingdom food prices which would result from a revaluation of the green pound. The estimate attributed to it in a recent press report is manifestly wrong.
