"We have had spurts of fast growth and they have always petered out.... we are determined not to let this happen again." (Anthony Barber's Budget 1973)

The Government is staking everything on a dash for economic freedom and our economy is growing at a rate higher than at any time since the war.

Has British industry enough of the four Ms - men, money, machines and materials?
