Recent appearances

• Oral Answers to Questions — National Finance: Government Policies 1 Apr 1976

  As the House knows, my right hon. Friend is attending a meeting of the European Council in Luxembourg today and tomorrow and, in his absence, I have been asked to reply. Yes, Sir.

• Oral Answers to Questions — National Finance: Government Policies 1 Apr 1976

  The hon. Gentleman asked what progress we were making in implementing the policies set out in the Queen's Speech. Of the Bills mentioned there, four have already received the Royal Assent, 13 are before Parliament—some having made substantial progress—and the remaining Bills are due to be introduced slowly—I am sorry, I should have said "shortly".

• Oral Answers to Questions — National Finance: Government Policies 1 Apr 1976

  Perhaps I may explain that I meant to say that the Bills would be introduced quickly—very quickly, and certainly before Easter. On my hon. Friend's supplementary question, I have no doubt that my right hon. Friends the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary will be raising this matter in the European Council in Luxembourg today and tomorrow.
