HC Deb 04 April 1960 vol 621 cc3-4W
51. Mr. Albu

asked the Minister of Power if he will list those classes of matters affecting the administration of the nationalised industries within his general sphere of responsibility upon which he is now prepared to answer Questions, despite previous refusals to answer on the ground that they were matters of day-to-day administration by the industry concerned.

Mr. Wood

No. As my right hon. Friend the Leader of the House stated on 25th February there is no hard and fast formula by which these matters could be identified, but provided Questions relate to my responsibilities for matters of general policy I will consider sympathetically the extent to which I can properly reply.
