It was announced Tuesday in Parliament by Selwyn Lloyd, chancellor of the exchequer, and immediately touched off an an- gry uproar from the Labor op- position. The emergency eco- nomic measures now face a two- day debate. Much of the shock was taken out of Lloyd's announcement by the endless amount of publicity and speculation the current eco- nomic crisis and the proposed remedies had received in the last few weeks.
