Council on Prices, Productivity and Incomes

HC Deb 17 December 1957 vol 580 c40W

77. Mr. Iremonger

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what consideration he has given to the desirability of legislation to constitute the Council on Prices, Productivity, and Incomes as a statutory body.

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

Legislation in this case is not necessary and when it is not necessary it is seldom desirable.
