§ Q7. Mr. JenkinTo ask the Prime Minister if he will list his official engagements for Tuesday 22 November.
§ The Prime MinisterI refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave some moments ago.
§ Mr. JenkinWill my right hon. Friend keep telling everyone about the low inflation, the falling unemployment and the strong growth? Will he also explain that we have achieved that by establishing an extremely successful economic framework and that, as night follows day, Labour would wreck it?
§ The Prime MinisterMy hon. Friend is entirely right, both in the scenario that he sets out and in the charge that he lays about such economic policy as the Labour party has yet divulged. There is no doubt that the present circumstance has come about because of a consistency of policy for some time designed to get inflation down. We made it clear in 1990 that getting inflation down to a low level had a very important, central part to play in economic management and we have achieved it. The Labour party achieved record high inflation. We are achieving record low inflation.
