asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will convene a conference of all heads of Departments, with a view of taking all steps necessary to stop inflation.

No such conference is required, since all Departments are under constant instruction to avoid unnecessary expenditure.

What earthly good is it to pass an anti-inflationary Budget, while almost in the same breath giving an increase in miners' wages, which puts up the cost of coal to the consumer by 3s. 6d. a ton?

The Question refers to a conference.
