§ Sir A. SalterYes. I am aware that the prices of some, though of course not all, basic commodities are now below the pre-Korean level, but I must not be taken as endorsing without qualification my hon. Friend's view that in general pre-Korean commodity prices then constituted a threat to world prosperity. As I stated in reply to the hon. Member for Sunderland, North (Mr. F. Willey) on 20th July, we are taking an active part in international discussions designed to reduce fluctuations in the prices of raw materials; and as I said in reply to my hon. Friend on 11th March we maintain close contact with the United States Administration on commodity problems.
