HC Deb 10 December 1969 vol 793 cc144-6W
Mr. Alison

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what changes have been made, on any convenient constant price basis, in the estimates for public expenditure in 1969–70 and in 1970–71 as between programmes published in January, 1968 in Command Paper No. 3515, the programmes published in February, 1969 in Command Paper No. 3936, and the programmes published in December, 1969 in Command Paper No. 4234.

Mr. Diamond

Details of the changes between the estimates of public expenditure programmes for 1969–70 published in Cmnd. 3515 and those published in Cmnd. 3936 were given in reply to a Question by the hon. Member for the Isle of Ely (Sir H. Legge-Bourke) on 7th July, 1969. Estimates of expenditure in 1970–71 were not given in Cmnd. 3515. The table in Appendix II to "Public Expenditure 1968–69 to 1973–74" (Cmnd. 4234) compares the estimates of public expenditure programmes for both 1969–70 and 1970–71 as published in Cmnd. 3936 with the latest estimates of expenditure. All these comparisons are on a comparable price basis.—[Vol. 786, c. 206–7.]
