§ 52. Mr. Lewisasked the Prime Minister what recent instructions he has given to Ministers concerned in restricting the expenditure of Government Departments, and with what results; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerI have been asked to reply.
My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has received the co-operation of all Ministers in a concerted Government policy to secure the greatest practicable restriction in Government expenditure. The question of instructions does not arise.
