HC Deb 17 December 1981 vol 15 c219W
Mr. Renton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what the effect upon Government borrowing will be if the creditors of British Nuclear Fuels Ltd. take up any part of the Treasury guarantee of the £1 .5 billion which the company proposes to borrow from the market.

Mr. Brittan

The central Government borrowing requirement would only be affected if and when the guarantee was called, and only to the extent of the payment made by the Government to implement the guarantee.
