HC Deb 26 February 1981 vol 999 c423W
42. Sir David Price

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will change the Treasury rules for public accounting in order to exclude from Public Expenditure Survey Committee and public sector borrowing requirement calculations private finance going into joint ventures between nationalised industries and private enterprise.

Mr. Brittan

Under existing rules such private sector finance would be excluded from the public expenditure survey and the public sector borrowing requirement if the joint venture were controlled by the private enterprise.
