HL Deb 08 June 1998 vol 590 c59WA
Lord Patten

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is their definition of their term "the middle way"; and whether this differs from "the third way". [HL2027]

Lord Richard

The Government leave to others the definition of "the middle way", which was a doctrine developed by Harold Macmillan in the 1930s.
