§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs (1) whether Her Majesty's Government's policy for prices and incomes would in any way conflict with the letter or the spirit of the Treaty of Rome or with current regulations approved by member countries of the European Economic Community; and if he will make a statement;
(2) to what extent a statutory body such as the National Board for Prices and Incomes would be compatible with the current practices of the European Economic Community.
§ Mr. Harold LeverAs my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister said in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for West Ham, North (Mr. Arthur Lewis) on 10th November last, there is nothing in the Treaty of Rome or in the arrangements made under it that would limit the freedom of the Government to pursue their prices and incomes policy.—[Vol. 702, c. 352.]
