HC Deb 09 February 1971 vol 811 cc273-4
Q6. Mr. Lipton

asked the Prime Minister if he will make an official visit to Brixton.

The Prime Minister

I have at present no plans to make an official visit, Sir.

Mr. Lipton

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that his reply will bring very cold comfort to the rapidly diminishing number of Tory supporters in the Brixton division? Is he further aware that, in view of the Government's dismal record of continual failure, some of my constituents are beginning to press for Brixton to secede from the Commonwealth?

The Prime Minister

Perhaps the hon. Gentleman would like to give me evidence of that. I know that there are particular problems in Brixton, which are being looked after by my right hon. Friends the Home Secretary and the Secretary of State for the Environment.
