HC Deb 09 December 1976 vol 922 c351W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the additional burden imposed on the public sector borrowing requirement were unemployment to remain at 1.3 million throughout 1977.

Mr. Denzil Davies

No general estimate can be given of the effects of changes in the level of unemployment in the PSBR. The effects depend, for example, on the change in demand which brings about the change in unemployment.
