HC Deb 25 April 1968 vol 763 cc76-7W
Q10. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Prime Minister if, in view of the present circumstances, he will now name a new Deputy Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister

As the House knows, there is no office of deputy Prime Minister as such and the arrangements made by successive Prime Ministers for a senior colleague to deputise for them on the infrequent occasions when this is necessary have varied. No standing arrangements are in force.
