asked the President of the Board of Trade whether as a result of his official discussions with the Governor of the Bank of England and the Chairman of the City Take-over Panel, he will make a statement on the action he plans to take regarding the News of the World situation.

Mr. Crosland

I am in touch with the Governor of the Bank of England about plans for strengthening the City Code and the Panel and the possible reinforcement of these measures by the Board of Trade. I have, however, no statement to make at this stage either about these general matters or about theNews of the World situation.
