§ Mr. MacGregorasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will update the table given in the Written Answer to the hon. Member for Chingford (Mr. Tebbit), Official Report, 3rd March, column 429–30, incorporating the price index figure for June 1978 when it becomes available.
§ Mr. Robert SheldonI refer the hon. Member to my recent answer to him, in which the figures from June 1970 onwards were given in terms of May 1978 prices.
To convert from May 1978 prices to June 1978 prices, the figures need to be multiplied by 1.0077, but the relativities between the figures will remain unchanged.
