The second lead article in Socialist Press 63 focussed on the stand taken by 'left' MP Audrey Wise and Jeffrey Rooker who voted against the budget proposals of Lib/Lab chancellor Healey in the committee stage of the Finance Bill.
The correct points in the article could have been strengthened by reference to comments made by Audrey Wise following this vote.
