Mr. Molloy
asked the Secretary of State for Industry what has been the rise in industrial raw material costs in the current financial year to date.
Mr. Cryer
On average there has been no rise in the costs of materials purchased by manufacturing industries. On the contrary, the Wholesale Prices Index shows that average prices in October were 5 per cent. less than in April.
