Public Sector Debt

HC Deb 11 June 1976 vol 912 cc812-3W

Mr. Brotherton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his latest estimate of the amount of debt interest payable on the current outstanding debts that will be paid for the year 1976–77.

Mr. Joel Barnett

I would not wish at present to change the estimate of public sector debt interest payments in 1976–77 given in the Financial Statement and Budget Report, of £6,461 million.
