Mr. Giles Shaw
asked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what action he proposes to take in the light of the Price Commission's report on Royal Doulton Tableware Ltd.
Mr. Maclennan
The Price Commission did not recommend any price restrictions in this case, but suggested that the scale of gross margins in the retail distribution of tableware in the United Kingdom domestic market might be pursued by means of a sectoral examination. My right hon. Friend is considering this suggestion.
