§ 26. Mr. Manderasked the Minister of Information whether he will consider the advisability of conducting a series of tests of public opinion in selected constituencies through their Members o[...] Parliament, as an alternative or addition to methods at present employed?
Mr. CooperI am always grateful for the co-operation of hon. Members, and if any hon. Member is prepared to give the necessary time to work of this kind, I shall be glad if he will communicate with me.
§ Mr. ManderDo I understand from the reply that if a sufficient number of Members send in their names, the right hon. Gentleman will be willing to put into operation a scheme of this kind?
§ Mr. LawsonWhat is the need for these tests of public opinion? Why cannot the people be trusted?
§ Commander BowerIs it not time we came to the conclusion that the people of this country have guts?
