§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Prime Minister whether he will take the earliest opportunity of arranging for a Ministerial television broadcast to explain to the country how Britain's economic situation is improving; if he will ensure that in relaxing any of the restrictions imposed some years ago the Government's first step will be to lift those impositions which fall most heavily on the poorer sections of the population, such as the charges on the welfare services.
§ The Prime MinisterI have no plans at present to make a Ministerial broadcast.
On the second part of the Question I would refer to the reply which my right 263W hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave to a supplementary question by my hon. Friend yesterday.
