§ Mr. Norman Lamontasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how public expenditure compares with the estimate in the last White Paper; and how much has already been spent of the planned expenditure for 1972–73.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinThe detailed estimates of public expenditure for all years up to 1976–77 will be published shortly in the annual public expenditure White Paper. I regret that information about the amounts so far spent by the various public authorities in 1972–73 is not readily available.
