§ Q10. Mr. Boxasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the heavy and increasing burden of responsibility on the Board of Trade, he will set up a working party to consider the advisability of reallocating Ministerial responsibilities in this field.
§ The Prime MinisterThe tasks of the Board of Trade, although heavy, are closely inter-related; and on information at present before me I do not think that an inquiry on the lines my hon. Friend suggests would be appropriate. But the allocation of ministerial responsibilities is a matter which I keep under regular review.
