§ Mr. Peter Bottomleyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated net charge to the public sector borrowing requirement following (a) the European Economic Community agreement on the United Kingdom contribution and (b) the farm prices agreement.
§ Mr. Lawson: The change in the United Kingdom's net contribution to the Community budget resulting from the budget settlement will go to reduce the PSBR. No significant adjustment to earlier assessments of the PSBR is required to take account of the agricultural price settlement on its own.
