asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in his forthcoming short-term economic forecast, he will include an estimate of the possible level of the public sector borrowing requirement for 1980–81 following the precedent set in November 1978.

Mr. Lawson

I ask the hon. Member to await the next Industry Act forecast which will be published shortly.
