§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, since he has granted permission to Pergamon Press Limited once again to increase its dividend to 47 per cent. to enable it to take over the News of the World, he will permit this latter company also to increase its dividend payments; and, as both of these increases are of an inflationary nature, why Her Majesty's Government have allowed them to take place.
§ Mr. Harold LeverI am not yet able to give a reply but I will write to my hon. Friend.
