5. Sir J. Crowder

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many Statutory Instruments he has made during the past 12 months abolishing or moderating existing controls.

Mr. H. Strauss

Thirty-one, Sir.

Sir J. Crowder

Will my hon. and learned Friend do his best to remove more controls, if possible, during the next 12 months and keep the good work going?

Mr. Strauss

It is certainly the policy of Her Majesty's Government to get rid of unnecessary controls.
