HC Deb 23 November 1967 vol 754 cc417-8W
Sir C. Osborne

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated annual cost of shielding the poorer-paid workers from the increased cost of living which he anticipates will result from his devaluation policy; how many people will benefit from it; below what wage level it will operate; and what new taxes he proposes to impose to find the money.

Mr. Diamond

It is too early to add to my right hon. Friend's statement to the House of 20th November.—[Vol. 754, c. 935–9.]
