HC Deb 31 January 1978 vol 943 c119W
45. Mr. Litterick

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his Department's current estimate of the level of unemployment in Great Britain: (a) in six months' time, and (b) in 12 months' time.

Mr. Denzil Davies

My hon. Friend will appreciate that forecasts of unemployment are extremely uncertain and also that the level of unemployment will depend, among other things, upon measures that my right hon. Friend may introduce in his Budget.
