§ The Prime MinisterI would refer my hon. Friend to the Answer I gave on 8th December, 1966, to a similar Question by the hon. Member for Banbury (Mr. Marten).
§ Mr. FordIs the Prime Minister aware that many of his hon. Friends feel that a central authoritative source of information would greatly assist with Press relations and would enable the Government to, for example, mount a buy British campaign to back up devaluation?
§ The Prime MinisterI think that the existing arrangements whereby Government decisions are notified to this House —and by other appropriate and well tried channels—are perfectly adequate in this matter. I am aware that former Governments have had Ministers specially charged with this duty, but experience of that has shown that there are better ways of communicating decisions reached by the Cabinet.
§ Mr. OnslowWould the right hon. Gentleman care to say which Member of the Cabinet is now the "Minister for Misinformation"?
