asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection whether she will now propose the necessary legislative action to ensure that drink price lists and measures are displayed openly to customers in public houses, bars, cafés and restauarants and similar licensed premises.

The consultations with trade, consumer and enforcement interests, to which I referred in my letter to my hon. Friend of 14th May, have not yet been completed. I hope to be able to give the House notice of my plans before the Summer Recess.
