HC Deb 30 March 1933 vol 276 cc1195-6W
Major NATHAN

asked the Minister of Labour whether he proposes to take steps for the preparation of a cost-of-living index appropriate for the conditions of the present time and in substitution for the pre-war index now in use?

Sir H. BETTERTON

I do not at present contemplate a revision of the basis of the cost-of-living index.
