LORD PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL (SPEECH)

HC Deb 06 May 1977 vol 931 cc288-9W

Mr. Tebbit

asked the Lord President of the Council, pursuant to his answer of 2nd May to the hon. Member for Chingford, which concerned The Times newspaper report of the Lord President of the Council's speech at Ashfield about the Socialist republic in Great Britain, on what day and in which section of The Times that report was published.

Mr. Foot

The point of my previous answer was thatThe Times correspondent who actually heard my remarks assessed correctly the context in which they were made and did not consider them to be of sufficient importance to merit being recorded for posterity.
