HL Deb 07 June 1995 vol 564 c96WA
Lord Gainford

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether it proposes to defer the requirement in the Price Marking Order 1991 for certain products to display unit prices from 7 June 1995.

The Minister of State, Department of Trade and Industry (Earl Ferrers)

I have 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.
