HC Deb 16 October 1969 vol 788 c111W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity whether she will make a statement on the report of the National Board for Prices and Incomes published in July warning of rapid price rises in the next few months; and what action she proposes to take to safeguard those on small and fixed incomes from these price rises.

Mr. Harold Walker

The hon. Member is presumably referring to the Board's Fourth General Report. The Report does not, in fact, say that the Board is expecting rapid price rises in the next few months.
