Q18. Mr. Cryer

asked the Prime Minister if he will make a statement on his last meetings with the TUC and the CBI.

Mr. Edward Short

I have been asked to reply.

My right hon. Friend had meetings with both the TUC and CBI, to discuss the Government's proposals for dealing with inflation, on Thursday 10th July. Both bodies made clear their support for a policy to limit pay increases in the coming round and achieve an inflation target of 10 per cent. by the late summer of next year.

asked the Prime Minister when he next expects to meet the TUC and the CBI.

Mr. Edward Short

I have been asked to reply.

I refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave earlier today to my hon. Friend the Member for Bolsover (Mr. Skinner).
