HC Deb 16 July 1957 vol 573 c105W
78. Mr. Osborne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give an assurance that, despite all difficulties, Her Majesty's Government will continue with the price plateau policy in order to restore sound currency which successive Governments have failed to do since 1939.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

The objective of the Government is to achieve stable prices, but these cannot be attained unless increased incomes are matched by increased output.
