§ Mr. Arthur LewisQ20 and Q24. asked the Prime Minister (1) whether he will now, in supplement of his ministerial television broadcast on 27th February, 1972, deliver a nation-wide television broadcast on the juxtaposition of unemployment, inflation, and the balance of payments, in the light of the subsequent events arising from his discussions with the Executive Committee of the National Union of Mineworkers and the Trades Union Congress;
(2) whether he will now repeat, in enlarged and widened form, his attenuated ministerial television broadcast of Sunday, 27th February, 1972, which could be not viewed by large numbers of electors due to black-out and erratic electric power supplies, and take the opportunity to add to this a report on his subsequent discussions with the Executive Committee of the National Union of Mineworkers and the Secretary of the Trades Union Congress.
