§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will recommend the appointment of a Royal Commission to investigate the special hardship suffered by people living in areas of low income per head, such as rural Wales, in consequence of the rise in the price of food which has occurred in the last 12 months.
§ Mr. Prior: No. The Government have already initiated a series of measures to help those with low incomes ; we are also pursuing policies designed to combat the inflationary situation we inherited.
