HC Deb 27 April 1978 vol 948 cc663-4W
22. Mr. Madden

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what he believes are the employment consequences of his Budget measures.

Mr. Joel Barnett

My right hon. Friend's Budget measures should raise output by another ¾ per cent. in the next 12 months. This will result in employment being higher than it would have been without the measures. I would be misleading my hon. Friend if I pretended to be more precise, but selective employment measures will be providing 400,000 jobs and training places by March 1979.

30. Mr. Townsend

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he plans to introduce a further budget this year.

35. Mr. Moate

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer on what date he expects to introduce his next Budget.

Mr. Joel Barnett

I refer the hon. Members to my reply to the hon. Member for Derbyshire, South-East (Mr. Rost) earlier today.
