§ The Government will maintain their strict control over public expenditure. The cost of the public expenditure measures in the current year will be found from within the contingency reserve so that no change will be required in this year's planned total for public expenditure.
§ The individual expenditure programmes for 1978–79 will also be affected by the decisions now announced concerning child benefit, school meals and the industry schemes. However, for total public expenditure the White Paper published last January℄Cmnd 6721℄remains the basis for planning. The programmes will be reviewed in detail in the annual survey.
