P109 ORACLE 109 Tue17 Oct ITV 1942:53 COMMONS ECONOMY DEBATE PLEA REJECTED The Commons Speaker has rejected an Opposition appeal for an emergency debate on the rise in interest rates. Earlier, Deputy Premier Sir Geoffrey Howe, standing in for Mrs Thatcher, defended the Chancellor's tactics.

Mr Howe ruled out any change in policy over joining the exchange mechanism of the European Monetary System.
