HC Deb 22 January 1976 vol 903 cc550-1W
Mr. Hordern

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in his forthcoming White Paper on Public Expenditure, he will provide figures for real disposable national income, as calculated by the Central Statistical Office as projections, as well as projections of national output.

Mr. Joel Barnett

In Cmnd. 5879, table 1.1, line A3, the supply of resources available for domestic use at 1970 factor cost prices is shown. Similar information will be included in the next White Paper. The figures shown differ from a projection of real disposable national income as calculated by the Central Statistical Office only in that they make allowance for the need to use some resources in adjusting the balance of payments to an acceptable level.
