HC Deb 20 December 1968 vol 775 c486W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total sum capitalised by the public sector in financial year 1967–68; and how this sum was divided between central and local government.

Mr. Harold Lever

If the hon. Lady is referring to net borrowing by the public sector, this was £2,100 million in 1967–68: the central Government accounted for £1,330 million; and local authority borrowing from non-Government sources was £720 million: public corporations borrowed the remaining £50 million.
