HC Deb 19 March 1979 vol 964 cc440-1W
Mr. Giles Shaw

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, further to his answer to the hon. Member for Pudsey on 5 March, which of the expenditure changes in that answer are estimating changes; and if he will provide a more defined explanation of each of the changes in excess of £40 million in each year for 1979–80 onwards.

Mr. Joel Barnett

The changes referred to are those other than announced changes in Government policy. Reasonably full explanations for the changes can be found in the separate chapters on each of the main programmes in part 2 of Cmnd. 7439.
