HC Deb 23 June 1978 vol 952 c347W
Mr. John Moore

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in the Official Report a table showing for each year since 1945 in both current and constant 1976 prices the Budget surplus or deficit on a per capita and per family basis.

Mr. Denzil Davies

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 14th February to the hon Member for Leek (Mr. Knox)—[Vol. 944,c. 158–60]—showing the total public sector borrowing requirement, the total public sector borrowing requirement per household, and the total public sector borrowing requirement per capita for each year between 1963 and 1976 in terms of constant 1970 prices and constant 1976 prices. Figures are not available for earlier years, nor on a per family basis. Figures for 1977 will be published in the Official Report.
