HC Deb 19 April 1989 vol 151 cc185-6W
63. Mr. McAvoy

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what further representations he has received on the effects of current interest rates on industry.

Mr. Maude

I have received a number of further representations about the effects of interest rates on cash flow and investment in industry. Representations continue to give overwhelming support for firm action to control inflation and investment intentions remain strong.
