HC Deb 17 May 1949 vol 465 c256
41. Mr. Gallacher

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has considered a resolution from the workers of John Langs, Johnstone, and endorsed by the Paisley District Committee of the Amalgamated Engineering Union, protesting against the increases in food prices arising out of the recent Budget, a copy of which has been sent to him; and if he will now reconsider his attitude to this question.

The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. Glenvil Hall)

Yes and No, Sir.

Mr. Gallacher

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he would seriously consider reversing these answers and give a "Yes" to the propositions of the workers?
