Mr. Gwilym Roberts
asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection if he will consult with interested parties with the aim of introducing a United Kingdom added value system for consumer goods, so that consumers are aware not only of price but also of the United Kingdom added value; and if he will encourage the purchase of goods with a high percentage United Kingdom added value by publicising the taxation and other advantages of high United Kingdom added value.
Mr. John Fraser
It would not be practicable to introduce a requirement that United Kingdom added value be marked on goods displayed for sale.
