§ The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr. Selwyn Lloyd)With permission, Mr. Speaker, I wish to make a statement on the economic situation.
I think that it will be for the convenience of the House if I make a fairly detailed statement today. I am arranging for copies of it to be put in the Vote Office later this afternoon, at about half-past four, I hope. I think that this procedure will have the advantage that the House and those hon. Members wishing to take part in the debate on Wednesday and Thursday will have made available to them the text of my statement, and, incidentally, it will curtail my speech tomorrow.
