HC Deb 23 May 1938 vol 336 c845
45. Mr. Robert Gibson

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the trade figures for the month of April, he will now announce the Government's plans for meeting a slump?

The Prime Minister

I would refer the hon. and learned Member to the answer which I gave on this subect on 14th December last. I do not consider that the situation has changed sufficiently since that date to warrant my adding anything to the statement I then made.

Mr. Gibson

Are the plans which were mentioned by the Prime Minister then and on previous occasions, going back to 28th July last, still under consideration by the officers of the Departments?

The Prime Minister

Yes, Sir, plans are constantly under consideration.
