It is not easy to create a sense of Crisis in the Mind of a chap who has £6 or £7 to pick up at the weekend and who is quite unable to understand the great national and international economic factors that are bedevilling national recovery.

We shall listen to that case, but I hope that they will bear in Mind the Immediate Crisis facing the ports of London and Liverpool.

He told us, as I am sure he would be ready to tell the House, that this year, with the Crisis in Mind, he has increased the contingency reserve from £45 million to £60 million.

It is not just pensioners - anyone on a limited income might feel the same - and with the recent financial Crisis in Mind, that is exactly the sort of personal responsibility we should be encouraging.
