HC Deb 14 June 1967 vol 748 c76W
79. Sir C. Osborne

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is satisfied his recent stimulation of the home demand for motor cars, by the easement of hire-purchase regulations, will not seriously increase inflation and help to create new wage demands; and to what extent this factor was considered before the changes were made.

Mr. Jay

Yes. My right hon. Friend and I fully considered the likely consequences of this change before it was made.
