§ Mr. Moonmanasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will specify each of 327W the areas of official contact he has with industry.
§ Mr. Roy JenkinsIn general, the Treasury has few direct contacts with industry and works instead with the cooperation of other Departments. There are limited contacts on taxation, matters affecting financial institutions, computers, loans of staff, aspects of public purchasing policy and, currently, on dividend restraint. The Treasury provides a quarterly Bulletin on the economic situation for the National Joint Advisory Committee of the Minister of Labour. I personally meet leaders from both sides of industry at meetings of the National Economic Development Council and elsewhere.
