HC Deb 20 December 1983 vol 51 c147W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will estimate the increase in interest payments on the national debt as a result of over-funding in the past financial year.

Mr. Ian Stewart

The size of the PSBR exceeded sales of public sector debt to the United Kingdom non-bank private sector in the financial year 1982–83.
