HC Deb 13 December 1949 vol 470 c2507
50. Mr. Erroll

asked the Chancellor ot the Exchequer on what date it is intended to publish an Economic Survey for 1950.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir Stafford Cripps)

It is intended that the Economic Survey for 1950, should be published about the middle of March, as was this year's Survey.

Mr. Erroll

Will the Survey take into account the possibility of a change of Government during 1950?

Sir S. Cripps

It will take all material matters into account.

Mr. Osborne

In view of the fact that it takes a number of weeks to get such a Survey through the printing process, especially if a General Election is in progress, will the right hon. and learned Gentleman see that it is done, nevertheless?
