Mr. Jim Marshall
asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if he has any proposals for further references to the Price Commission.
Mr. Hattersley

Among other things, this study should throw light on the wide variations in the prices at which the same paint is sold by different retail outlets as well as on other factors in the pricing of paint.
