HC Deb 14 November 1968 vol 773 cc143-4W
Q10. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that many days before the official announcements of Government policy and changes in policy are made details are published in the Press and on the radio; and

States dollars for the first two quarters of 1967 and the first three quarters of 1968, giving each quarter separately.

Mr. Dell

Following is the information:

whether he will cause an official investigation to be made into these premature disclosures in general and into the particular ones concerning the hire purchase changes and the visit to Salisbury of the Minister without Portfolio.

The Prime Minister

I do not think that a general investigation would be helpful. Inquiries are made in particular cases, if this appears to be justified.
