§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what recent representations he has received from Help the Aged; what reply he is sending; if there is any action he proposes to take as a result; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir Geoffrey Howe[pursuant to his reply, 25 February 1982, c. 476]: The director of Help the Aged wrote to me 521W on 1 February. It is not my practice to comment on the substance of Budget representations, but I do of course consider them very carefully.
