HC Deb 01 March 1976 vol 906 c483W
Mr. Higgins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish figures corresponding to lines Al Cl a and 2c in Table 1.1 of Command Paper No. 6393 for average annual increases between the latest date for which actual figures are available and 1979.

Mr. Joel Barnett

The latest year for which actual figures are available is 1974, the base year of Table 1.1 of Cmnd. 6393. As I told the hon. Member of Guildford (Mr. Howell) on 19th January, the table showing the growth and use of resources is estimated only for complete years.
