HC Deb 15 February 1982 vol 18 c17W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will compare the price of standard saloons in different European Economic Community countries; to what extent it is consistent with the trade practice deriving from the Treaty of Rome; and if he will refer the matter to the European Economic Commission for consideration.

Mr. Biffen

[pursuant to his reply, 11 February, 1982, c. 443]: No. It is for the European Commission to follow up any evidence of breaches of Community competition rules. The prices charged by manufacturers are a matter for their commercial judgment, acting in accordance with national and Community law.
