§ Mr. Adam Butlerasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish figures of the gross and net payment of public sector debt interest of all kinds for each year since 1964–65, distributed between different classes of recipients such as domestic and overseas, private and public bodies.
§ Mr. Joel Barnett:The figures requested are given in the table below:
Ford motor cars; and what action he intends to take if this advice is disregarded.
§ Mr. Joel Barnett:I refer the hon. Member to the reply that I gave to the 43W hon. Member for Cirencester and Tewkesbury (Mr. Ridley) on 1st December. The question of action against the nationalised industries does not arise.
