I am sure that all hon. Members who take these matters seriously must deplore, in the kindest way, the fact that there is only one statement covering six ministerial meetings. I should like to register my strong disapproval of that. Would my right hon. Friend give an assurance that this will not be a precedent for the future presentation of reports of Council of Ministers' meetings? It has been reported in the Press that the economic and monetary union project has now been postponed until July. I did not quite understand what my right hon. Friend said about that. In the anti-inflation programme, what is new for this country, and to what extent shall we agree to it, or go ahead with it? Is it mandatory or not?
