§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection whether he will publish a detailed list of Ministers available in their offices during the period 24th December 1976 to 4th January 1977 in view of the difficulties in contacting a Minister about bread prices on 4th January.
§ Mr. HattersleyApart from bank holidays and weekends, at least one Minister was present in the Department's offices throughout the period to which my576W hon. Friend refers. I have found no record of my hon. Friend the Member for Newham, North-West (Mr. Lewis) having made any attempt to contact the Department during this period.
