I believe the reason for the British Economic Crisis is the layer upon layer of sloppy, bad Bills of this sort which have been placed on the Statute Book, with endless political decisions being taken about the allocation of national resources, and it is in that context that I want to make one final criticism of what is proposed in the Bill.

Is it not a fact in the Present British Economic Crisis with which the Prime Minister is trying to grapple that, apart from 1931 and unlike the Labour Government's experiences, the Government are trying to depress the existing standard of living of the British people in order to put more into investment?
