HL Deb 29 October 2003 vol 654 c42WA
Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbotts

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will take steps to clarify the table in paragraph 5(1) of the Price Marking (Food and Drink Services) Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/2253) for the benefit, in particular, of small businesses. [HL4937]

Lord Sainsbury of Turville

The tabular format was adopted in order to bring together in a simpler and clearer form the existing rules about the number of prices required to be displayed for food and wine with the new ones about soft drinks.

We shall be publishing general guidance on the order before it enters into force.
