Milk price rise
Sir.—l note with displeasure that the makers of ZAP flavoured milk have increased the price of their product by 20 per cent. With nil overseas content I wonder what justification they have. Has another company broken the so-called price freeze? Companies are able to claim hardship but not so an individual. I wish the Govern-
ment had been honest and called the wage freeze a wage freeze and the price freeze a free for all. — Yours, etc., G. P. BEAUMONT. February 2, 1983. [Mr Neville Martin, manager dairy industry information services, for the New Zealand Dairy Board, replies: “Your correspondent is presumably unaware that the packaging material for ZAP flavoured milk is imported. Permission to raise the price was granted principally on the ground of increases in the imported costs of those materials.”]
