§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why she will not cease the present practice whereby her Department keeps under constant review the prices and charges for which she has responsibility and initiate a system of monthly reviews of such prices and charges to enable her to show from month to month to what extent since June, 1970, the Government's policy of reducing prices and costs is operating so far as it affects her Departmental responsibilities; and whether she will make a statement.
§ Mrs. ThatcherI do not think that monthly reviews would be a worthwhile activity.
