§ Q8. Mr. Carterasked the Prime Minister how many letters he has received since 27th April relating to the exercise of his responsibilities.
§ The Prime MinisterAbout 7,000, Sir.
§ Mr. CarterMay I ask the Prime Minister what replies he sends to the letters he receives on the subjects of prices and unemployment because, judging by the by-election results, it appears that the electors believe that he has ratted on the pledges he gave on both issues in the General Election last year?
§ The Prime MinisterI have often given the House an explanation about this matter. Unlike the last Government, the present Government are not blown off course by unpopularity.
