HC Deb 21 October 1952 vol 505 c854
30. Sir I. Fraser

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury how many Statutory Instruments have lapsed or been annulled since 1st November. 1951.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Up to 16th October, 1952, 1,024 of general application.

Mr. Lee

May I ask the Minister how many have been initiated?

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Perhaps the hon. Gentleman will put that Question on the Order Paper, but I can none the less reassure him that the figures will disclose a reasonably satisfactory deficit.
