asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will state the total number of increases in prices of goods or services recommended by the Prices Advisory Body and/or sanctioned by him from the 1st June, 1951, to date.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Increases in Prices.
The total number of increases in prices of goods or services recommended by the Prices Advisory Body and/or sanctioned by me since June 1st, 1951, was 138. The commodities and services affected would be considerably less in number, as two or more recommendations may have related to the same commodity or service. The term "services" includes such charges as harbour rates.
