60. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Labour, on what date she received representations from the Secretary of the West Ham Trades Council on the subject of price increases in connection with wage restraint; whether she will publish full details of this communication; and what reply she has sent.

Mr. Hattersley

My Department received a copy of a letter about increases in fares n the London area and their effects on the less well-off. A reply, referring to the special provision for low-paid workers in the Government's policy for productivity, prices and incomes, was incorporated in a letter sent by the Ministry of Transport on 8th April.
