asked the Prime Minister whether he can state the nature of the investigations now being undertaken by the Economic Advisory Council?

The nature of the investigations of the Economic Advisory Council is fully set out in the recent White Paper (find. 3478). The proceedings of the Council are confidential; and it would be contrary to the public interest for details of its inquiries in every instance to be made public.

Will the right hon. Gentleman from time to time make arrangements to publish the conclusions, or some of the conclusions, arrived at by the Council?

If the bon. Member will look at the White Paper, he will find that those conclusions are all set out.
