HC Deb 31 October 1984 vol 65 c1008W
Mr. Roger King

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry whether he will make representations to the EEC concerning the proposed directive on motor car selective distribution that member states should abandon any individual price freeze policies with a view to ensuring true market pricing.

Mr. Fletcher

The management of domestic economic policy is a matter for individual member states. In the context of the draft regulation, I would have no basis tinder the terms of the Treaty of Rome on which to make representations. The draft regulation and its accompanying guidance notice make it apparent, however, that full account will be taken of member states' fiscal and other policies which affect market prices.
