58. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps the Government have taken to plan an increase in purchasing power to provide for additional consumption in the post-war period; and whether he is now in a position to make a statement on Government policy in connection with this?
§ Sir K. WoodPerhaps my hon. Friend will await the statement which I hope to make in the Debate on this subject during the present series of Sittings.
Mr. De la BèreIs my right hon. Friend really going to tell us something about increased purchasing power throughout the world in the post-war period?
§ Sir K. WoodYes, Sir, but whether I shall satisfy my hon. Friend is another matter.
