HC Deb 05 August 1976 vol 916 c996W
Mr. Nott

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much debt interest he expects the public sector to pay in 1977–78.

Mr. Denzil Davies

Debt interest payments are affected by a number of external factors which are essentially uncertain. I am not yet prepared to publish a forecast of debt interest payments in 1977–78.
