Since the Prime Minister has just told us on the authority of the miners—a rather unusual situation—that they will vouch for his mental stability following a three-and-a-half hour meeting yesterday—and incidentally I have not heard any miner question his mental stability, which may give some comfort to him—[AN HON. MEMBER : "Cheap."] Yes, it is cheap. Can the right hon. Gentleman explain why he had a three-and-a-half-hour meeting with the miners' leaders? Was it to give them a lecture? Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that he is plunging the country into a very serious crisis by refusing to move in order to try to solve the very serious situation that the country is in at present?
