asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce what is the reason for the recent substantial increase in the price of jam.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Price of Jam.
27.
No statutory control is exercised over the price of jam and I am not in a position to supply the information sought by the Deputy.
Will the Minister take any action?
As there is no statutory control I believe the best action to take is that provided by free competition.
And free competition will keep on increasing prices.
