“The Conservatives will stand by the Government if its policy to beat inflation is challenged, Sir Geoffrey Howe, QC, Opposition spokesman on Treasury and economic affairs, said on Saturday.” 

(The Times, 1st September 1975) 

“Mrs. Thatcher gave a clear warning last night that the Labour Government cannot rely on unquestioning Conservative support for its anti-inflation policy.”
