HC Deb 03 March 1953 vol 512 c17W
44. Sir W. Smithers

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has studied the criticism by Mr. J. H. T. Gibson Jarvie, Chairman of the United Dominions Trust, details of which have been sent to him, of the squandering of our depleted national resources as the prime cause of inflation; and if he will take note of this and other similar criticism when forming his Budget.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

Yes. I have seen this statement. In framing his Budget my right hon. Friend will bear in mind all relevant considerations.
