Mr Harold Wilson , Huyton

I have as yet nothing to add to the Answer I gave to a Question by the hon. Member for Woking (Mr. Onslow) on 6th July.

Dolen i'r araith hon Yn ei gyd-destun Yn unigol

Sir Knox Cunningham , South Antrim

May I congratulate the Prime Minister on not being stampeded? Is he aware of the pleasure with which the whole nation anticipates celebrating next year the defeat of Harold?

We had that joke, I believe, elaborated on 6th July. Indeed, I think that it was reported in column 1343 of the OFFICIAL REPORT, but the hon. and learned Gentleman can look it up if he wishes. I congratulate the hon. and learned Gentleman's return to the subject and for catching up on the joke several months later.
