HC Deb 26 November 1964 vol 702 c204W
16. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs by what amount he estimates the cost of living will rise or fall during the next 12 months.

Mr. Crosland

It is not the practice of Her Majesty's Government to give forecasts of the cost of living. As the honourable Member will be aware, the Government's policy is to work for more stable prices and a closer relationship between the increase in productivity and the growth of incomes in all their forms.
