HC Deb 31 July 1975 vol 896 c631W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will give an assurance that any proposals that he may be intending to make during the next few weeks on economy cuts affecting matters which fall within the responsibility of his Department will be made before the House of Commons adjourns for the Summer Recess and that this will be done if only on the basis of advising the House of Commons of his intentions if full and complete details of same are not available by the commencement of the recess.

Mr. Joel Barnett

My right hon. Friend is not planning to announce such proposals during the next few weeks.
