HC Deb 06 May 1982 vol 23 c121W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, further to his reply of 19 April, Official Report, c. 8–9, concerning the increase in the real money supply, whether he will provide comparable figures for the increase in domestic credit.

Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

There are no figures of the percentage increase in domestic credit as the stock of domestic credit has not been evaluated. Domestic credit expansion is measured by the change in domestic non-bank holding of notes and coin plus all lending in sterling by the monetary sector to the public, private and overseas sectors plus overseas lending to the public sector. Changes in Domestic credit expansion are shown in table 7.5 of "Financial Statistics".
