§ 22. Mr. Laneasked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs if he will publish a revised Check-list for Action appropriate to the new planning document.
§ Mr. ShoreOne of the principal aims of the consultations described in Chapter 10 of "The Task Ahead" will be to identify the action which should be taken to improve economic performance.
§ Mr. LaneWhen the right hon. Gentleman draws up his list, will he put very high on it a reduction in the amount of distraction and interference which both private and public industry is having to endure from the present Government?
§ Mr. ShoreThat is an odd comment, because the dialogue which we shall be having with industry over the planning document will, or could well, lead to proposals from industry requesting the Government to do certain things which the hon. Gentleman may interpret as interference but which others might interpret as very useful intervention.
