§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs if he will make a statement on the progress made to the latest convenient date of his incomes and prices policy, indicating the manner in which he has dealt with the recent opposition to his efforts to restrain the increases in consumer goods.
§ Mr. FoleyI would refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend's statement on 8th April. The National Board for Prices and Incomes are now about to start work, and we hope to announce very shortly the first price cases to be referred to them for investigation.
