HC Deb 08 June 1982 vol 25 c84W
Mr. Joel Barnett

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if there is any change in his estimate of shortfall as published in table 1.13 of Cmnd. 8494–1, "The Government's Expenditure Plans."

Sir Geoffrey Howe

Outturn figures for public expenditure in 1981–82 are not yet available. Plans for subsequent years are to be reassessed in the course of the 1982 public expenditure survey.
