Vol. 243 No. 3

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Candied Peel Prices.

81.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether he authorised the many recent increases in the prices of candied peel and other ingredients of Christmas fare; and if he will now take remedial action in the matter.

I am not aware of many recent price increases on candied peel and other ingredients of Christmas fare, but if the Deputy will furnish me with details of any such price increases I will arrange to have the matter investigated.

In August/September last, I informed the processors of almonds, marzipan and cherries that I would not object to certain increases in their prices to compensate for the increased cost of their imported raw materials
