HC Deb 25 May 1973 vol 857 cc199-200W
Mr. Biffen

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the projects affected by his statement of public expenditure retrenchment announced on 21st May which fall on his Vote, and indicate the total savings expected for the current and prospective year.

Mr. Higgins

There are no projects on the Votes for which Treasury Ministers are responsible. For the effect on those Votes of the policy on civil service manpower announced in my right hon. Friend's statement, I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given today to his Question to the Minister for the Civil Service.
