Dr. Twinn

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he proposes to defer the requirement in the Price Marking Order 1991 for certain products to display unit price from 7 June. [27565]

Mr. Jonathan Evans

My right hon. Friend the Minister for Consumer Affairs and Small Firms has today laid before Parliament legislation to defer until 7 June 1997 the requirement in the Price Marking Order 1991 for certain consumer products to display their unit price from 7 June 1995.

Trade organisations, consumer groups, and local authority trading standards departments have been consulted about this deferment.
