HC Deb 30 May 1957 vol 571 c41W
6. Mr. Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware of the concern felt by the women of this country at the high cost of living; whether his attention has been drawn to the resolution passed unanimously by the Conservative Women's National Advisory Committee calling upon the Government to reduce the cost of living; and what action the Government propose to take to reduce immediately the cost of living.

Mr. Birch

My right hon. Friend is aware of the resolution in question. The policies of the Government are designed to secure conditions favourable to price stability.

9. Mr. Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer on what date he received a communication from the Conservative Women's National Advisory Committee calling upon the Government to reduce the cost of living; and what reply he has made.

Mr. Birch

My right hon. Friend has received no such communication.
