RAZOR BLADES

That this House notes the exorbitant increase in the retail price of men's razor blade cartridges where in three years the price has increased in some cases by almost 100 per cent, some 10 times greater than the price of inflation; and calls on the Office of Fair Trading and consumer bodies to investigate this sector where it has been reported that the production costs per cartridge are in pence while marketing, packaging and profiteering are resulting in margins of around a thousand per cent, with an eight-cartridge pack currently retailing at many outlets at approximately 22.
