Sugar
Sir, —The recent increases in sugar prices are further proof that price control is urgently needed in foodstuffs. Confectionery firms and cake shops use these rises to increase their already high profits, which can easily absorb any sugar price rises or wage increases. The Government should have acted long ago to keep food prices down, but it does nothing because it is as Mr Shelton said at the recent Tory discussion panel in Christchurch, a free-enterprise party.—Yours, etc., DISILLUSIONED NATIONALIST. May 28. 1963.
