§ Mr. Oramasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he makes, having regard to the target of a 4 per cent. growth in the home economy, of the necessary balance of payments surplus for 1964 as a whole and for each quarter; and how the actual performance so far this year compares with this estimate.
§ Mr. Maurice MacmillanThere is no balance of payments outcome which is necessarily associated in particular quarters or years with achievement of our growth target. Provisional figures of the outcome in the first quarter of this year will be published about the end of this month.
