National Debt

HC Deb 16 June 1976 vol 913 cc190-1W

Sir Nigel Fisher

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much the interest per annum on the National Debt now amounts to.

Mr. Joel Barnett

I would refer the hon. Member to the recent Financial Statement and Budget Report, which shows estimates for 1975–76 and fore-casts for 1976–77 both of the interest on the national debt (Table 11) and of total public sector debt interest (Table 6).
