HC Deb 15 March 1982 vol 20 c18W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will now publish data for 1981–82 on the same basis as the article "Costing Unemployment" which appeared in the economic progress report for February 1981.

Mr. Brittan

I am at present considering the basis on which estimates of the Exchequer cost of unemployment are prepared.
