§ Mr. H. MacmillanI fear I must not anticipate the Housing Quarterly Return. It will be published on 4th February.
§ Mr. HaleWill it not show that the right hon. Gentleman has been doing a very remarkable amount of cackling over somebody else's eggs?
§ Mr. MacmillanI must not anticipate the return, because if I do so I shall get into trouble with the hon. Member for Reading, South (Mr. Mikardo).
