HC Deb 31 July 1981 vol 9 c686W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will publish a table in the Official Report showing for each Treasury forecast since the beginning of 1978 the forecast rate of exchange and for each subsequent forecasting period the actual rate of exchange, together with a statement explaining what elements in each forecast accounted for the difference.

Mr. Lawson

I regret that in the time available it has not been possible to provide the information requested. I shall write to the hon. Member.
