HC Deb 30 March 1933 vol 276 c1168
46. Mr. T. WILLIAMS

asked the Prime whether, seeing that a large industrial concern has recently restored its wages cuts to the employés and in order to give a, lead to other business concerns in the country, the Government propose to restore their economy cuts to the police, school teachers, the services, and the unemployed?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have nothing to add to the statement which I made on, the 7th February in reply to questions on this subject.

Mr. WILLIAMS

Does not the right hon. Gentleman think that, if the Government followed the excellent example of Imperial Chemical Industries, it would tend to restore confidence?

The PRIME MINISTER

I hardly think so.

Mr. CHARLES WLLIAMS

Has the right hon. Gentleman noticed the virtue of private enterprise under these conditions, and the advantage especially to the workers?
