Retail Price Comparisons

HC Deb 22 February 2000 vol 344 cc951-2W

Mr. Martlew

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what was the total net price in sterling of the 56 items surveyed in the AC Nielsen report for each of the four countries included in the project. [111059]

Dr. Howells

Information on the net price of each of the 56 items is included in AC Nielsen's report on international retail price comparisons, a copy of which has been placed in the Library of the House. It is also available on the Internet.

The research was designed to provide item by item comparisons and comparisons of totals for any sub-group of items, or for the list as whole, are not valid.
