Description

Interview with an identified male Labour politician (poss. Doug Hoyle) on Denis Healey’s 1978 Budget (11/04/78). On the whole, he is happy that the Budget gives help where it is most needed; his only reservations are about the lack of selective import controls, and the rise in the Bank of England lending rate, which he fears may hit house buyers and small businesses if the building societies pass increased costs on to their borrowers. Male interviewer not identified (poss. Peter Murphy).
