Mrs. Slater:

Does not the Minister realise that we are not concerned with the record of Governments in other countries, but with the record of this Government? Ten shillings and four pence in the £ is a considerable item to a person living on a small income, a sick person, or an old-age pensioner.

What sort of promises are they prepared to give to the electorate in October of this year?
