Vol. 377 No. 1

Written Answers. - Price of Food.

164.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether there is evidence that there are inordinate disparities in regard to the price of foodstuffs between Ireland and Britain.

The Restrictive Practices Commission report on this matter which I sought last year will be published in the next few days. The report deals extensively with the available evidence on this subject and sets out the factors which can account for different price levels. I referred to a number of these factors in the course of my replies to questions in this House on 18 November 1987.
