HC Deb 19 April 1951 vol 486 c189W
Mr. Llewellyn

asked the Minister of Labour by how much it is estimated that the cost-of-living index will rise by 1st October, 1951, and by 1st January, 1952, respectively.

Mr. Bevan

Future price movements are not sufficiently known to enable me to make a reliable estimate of the level which the retail prices index is likely to reach by October. 1951, and January, 1952.
