§ 18. Mr. Websterasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he expects to complete his inquiries into the reduction of Government expenditure.
§ Sir E. BoyleI have nothing at present to add to my right hon. and learned Friend's replies to my hon. Friend the Member for Louth (Sir C. Osborne) on 20th June.
§ Mr. WebsterIs my hon. Friend aware that, while many of us hope that the Chancellor will not have to curtail road and hospital building programmes, we equally hope that the Government will rapidly denationalise the remaining steel organisations that are still administered by the Government and will also dispose of the surplus railway properties as soon as legislation permits?
§ Sir E. BoyleMy hon. Friend will appreciate that steel denationalisation hardly arises directly out of this Question.
