HC Deb 04 May 1965 vol 711 c143W
Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how the proposed military expenditure of nearly £590 million in the United States of America is to be financed.

Mr. Callaghan

The total dollar cost of buying United States aircraft will depend on how many we purchase. The Government's plans to achieve economic growth and a satisfactory balance of payments have already been made known.
