HC Deb 24 July 1978 vol 954 c509W
Mr. Lawson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, further to his Written Answer, Official Report, 7th June, columns 189–91, he will make available a quantified comparison of the projected expenditure by programme in 1977–78, as set out in Command Paper No. 5519 and the outturn expenditures by programme in that year, making whatever judgments as to price, base and coverage of programmes as would seem to be most appropriate in order to contrast properly actual expenditure levels with those projected in the White Paper.

Mr. Joel Barnett

I will let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
