HC Deb 02 August 1976 vol 916 c635W
Mr. Shepherd

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how the figure of £11 million public expenditure cuts as a result of the deferment of capital grants payments is calculated.

Mr. Pearl

This is our best estimate of the net effect of a three months' deferral of capital grant payments on our estimated expenditure for 1977–78.
