Abstract
My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Beswick, has announced that he will not ask his Party to divide against this Second Reading. If his decision had been otherwise, I confess that I should have gone into the Government Lobby. I should have gone into the Government Lobby, however, in a somewhat Laodicean frame of mind. I should go in not because I think in principle and in the long run statutory control of incomes is the best way of managing that sort of thing. On the contrary, I still hold the view that if aggregate national spending is held more or less commensurate with the increase in the value of the product then freely negotiated contracts are better.
