What I say is that, if Britain has a Serious Overseas Trade Crisis, and if the best argument that can be advanced for these charges is the one advanced by the Under-Secretary of State for Scotland, then we are placing the burden of Britain's economic difficulties on the least fortunate - the crippled as well as the sick and the infirm.

I appeal to the Minister and to his Parliamentary Secretary: Is there no sense of human decency, no sense of moral values left, so that at a time when those fortunate enough to have incomes of £2,000 a year and above are being made a present of £50 a year or more by the Budget in tax remissions, the crippled must be called upon to bear the burden of Our Overseas Trade Crisis?

We must get further assurances from the Government about what they intend to do in the continuing Crisis in Overseas Trade.
