HC Deb 07 November 1967 vol 753 cc82-3W
Mr. Driberg

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) by what percentage he intends that total public expenditure in 1968–69 shall exceed total public expenditure in 1967–68, valuing both years' expenditure on the same pay and price basis;

(2) whether he has yet decided, for preliminary planning purposes, by what amount, computed at constant prices total public expenditure in 1968–69 is to exceed total public expenditure in 1967–68.

Mr. Callaghan

I am not yet ready to make a statement on this matter.
