HC Deb 24 March 1977 vol 928 cc637-8W
46. Mr. Dodsworth

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the cash flow for costs contained in the White Paper on Public Expenditure are the same as those in the corporate plans of the nationalised industries.

Mr. Joel Barnett

The estimates of the capital requirements and financing of the nationalised industries published in Tables 3.2 and 3.3 of Command 6721-II are based on figures supplied by the industries themselves.

Mr. Marten

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer which nationalised industries, in addition to the gas industry, are being requested to repay existing borrowings by 31st March 1978 on a scale similar to the £100 million which the gas industry has to repay.

Mr. Joel Barnett

None.
