HC Deb 13 December 1976 vol 922 c546W
Mr. Gould

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what measures he proposes to encourage industry to take up the £5,000 million available from the banks for investment and of which industry has so far declined to avail itself; and whether he proposes to cut public expenditure so as to add to this total of available capital which is not utilised for investment.

Mr. Joel Barnett

My right hon. Friend will be making a statement shortly.
