HC Deb 24 July 1980 vol 989 cc342-3W
28. Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the current trend of public sector borrowing requirement relative to his Budget projection.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

On the basis of partial information, mainly relating to central Government, we have no reason to suppose that the PSBR is not on course for the financial year as a whole. An estimated outturn of the PSBR for the April-June quarter will be published on 21 August.
