The following Question stood upon the Order Paper in the name of Mr. MARPLES.
46. To ask the Prime Minister whether he will set up a Royal Commission to investigate the question of unofficial stocks.
Mr. Marples
In putting this Question, Mr. Speaker, may I draw your attention to the fact that the concluding words should be " unofficial strikes "?
The Prime Minister
I gathered that that correction was necessary. The reply is, " No, Sir."
Mr. Marples
Does that mean that the right hon. Gentleman is satisfied with the present position? If he is not satisfied. what action, if any, does he propose to take?
The Prime Minister
The answer means that I do not consider the remedy, suggested by the hon. Member, that a Royal Commission would be appropriate in this case.
