HC Deb 19 June 1980 vol 986 c626W
Mr. Latham

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will make a statement on the results of his Department, after 13 months of the present Government, in achieving the policy programme which he set it on assuming office.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

I am satisfied that, despite the difficulties we inherited, and the further major increase in world oil prices and the price of other commodities during the past year, we are making substantial progress towards achievement of our medium-term economic objectives.
