§ Mr. Terry Walkerasked the Prime Minister if he will make a statement about the Government's counter-inflation publicity programme.
§ The Prime MinisterLord Cudlipp will continue as my adviser on the presentation of the Government's economic policies. But on his advice the Government have agreed that, following the acceptance of the £6 pay policy and the 669W agreement to stage 2 of the pay policy, there should be no further paid publicity in pamphlets or in advertising for the time being in support of the counter-inflation measures. The Counter-Inflation Publicity Unit, set up in 1975, has therefore been stood down, but it can be reassembled quickly should this be necessary.
