Public Sector Borrowing Requirement (Hansard, 2 July 1981)

HC Deb 02 July 1981 vol 7 c481W 481W

§ 29. Mr. Eggar
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the forecast outturn for the 1981–82 public sector borrowing requirement.

§ Mr. Brittan
The underlying forecast of the PSBR remains that in the Budget Statement. As my hon. Friend is aware, receipts of tax and national insurance contribtions of about £750 million to £1 billion due in 1980–81 were delayed by the Civil Service dispute which began in March.
