14. Mr. Money

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the total amount of accelerated Government expenditure and special taxation arrangements which the Government have introduced to increase employment.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

Since taking office the Government have announced additions to public expenditure to increase employment of the order of £1,700 million. The Government's total tax cuts, which amount to some £3,000 million in the current financial year, are all designed to increase employment by stimulating demand and output.
