Bill to make as regards England and Wales further provision for the continuation of criminal trials notwithstanding the death or discharge of a juror, presented by Mr. John Wells; supported by Sir Godfrey Nicholson, Mr. Ian Percival, Mr. A. J. Irvine, Mr. Daniel Awdry and Mr. Emlyn Hooson; read the First time; to be read a Second time upon Friday, 29th January, and to be printed. [Bill 54.]

(ii) to examine particular cases in order to advise whether or not the behaviour of prices or of wages, salaries or other money incomes is in the national interest as defined by the Government after consultation with management and unions.

11. We stress that close attention must be paid to easing the difficulties of those affected by changed circumstances in their employment. We therefore support, in principle, the Government's proposals for earnings-related benefits and will examine sympathetically proposals for severance payments.

12. We—Government, management and unions—are confident that by co-operating in a spirit of mutual confidence to give effect to the principles and policies described above, we and those whom we represent will be able to achieve a faster growth of real incomes and generally to promote the economic and social well-being of the country.
