HC Deb 04 May 1944 vol 399 cc1468-9
47. Mr. John Dugdale

asked the Prime Minister whether his broadcasts of 21st March, 1943, and 26th March, 1944, represent the policy of His Majesty's Government on the subject of post-war reconstruction.

Mr. Attlee

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Dugdale

Does this mean that all members of the Cabinet were personally responsible for the unfortunate phraseology in which Members of Parliament, civic authorities, and ordinary citizens were referred to as "busy wiseacres" because they disagreed with the Prime Minister and wanted quicker measures of reconstruction than he did?

Mr. Attlee

I am afraid that I have not in mind the passage in the speech to which the hon. Member refers.
