§ Mr. Granvilleasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will set up an inquiry into the cost of living and in particular the application of food prices in view of the growing hardship, particularly in rural areas, of those in receipt of lower wage scales whose contribution to National Health and other insurance bears more heavily on them than on those earning higher remuneration.
§ Sir S. CrippsI do not think any useful purpose would be served by an inquiry such as is suggested in the Question, as all the facts are already well known.
