§ Mr. DiamondAs I told my hon. Friend the Member for Ashton-under-Lyne (Mr. Sheldon) on 15th October, 1968, I am carefully considering the main studies which have been carried out in this field in recent years.
§ Mr. SheldonIs my right hon. Friend aware that the dragging of feet by the Treasury is in marked contrast with what is going on in the Department of Economic Affairs, which is carrying out a survey into the R.E.P. and as that Department represents£100 million and the taxes of my right hon. Friend's Department represent£10,000 million a year, surely investigation here should have greater priority?
§ Mr. DiamondI am not aware of any dragging of any feet in the Treasury.
