Television political broadcast prior to the elections of 1955 by the Conservative and Unionist Party of Great Britain. The program is opened by the Prime Minister, the Honourable Sir Anthony Eden, who introduces the panel of Conservative Members of Parliament and presides over the proceedings as newspaper editors from across the country pose questions. The panel is composed of: the Chancellor of the Exchequer, R.A. Butler; the Minister of Health, Iain Macleod; the Foreign Secretary, Harold Macmillan; and Sir Walter Monckton, Minister of Labour. The representatives of the press are: R. Gray, "Northern Echo"; Hugh Cudlipp, "Daily Mirror"; James Holborn, "Glasgow Herald"; Michael Curtis, "News Chronicle"; A.T.P. Murphy, "Daily Despatch"; Herbert Gunn, "Daily Sketch"; David Brosser, "Western Mail"; W. Vaughan Reynolds, "Birmingham Post"; Arthur Wareham, "Daily Mail"; and N.A.T. Vinson, "Western Morning News". Topics raised concern the previous record of the Tory Party and its future policies on: the economy; the cost of living; free enterprise; import and export control; protection against unofficial and communist-inspired strikes; transportation costs; East-West relations; and the regional concerns of Scotland and Wales. <34mn>
