HC Deb 01 May 1984 vol 59 c115W
Mr. Wainwright

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is Her Majesty's Government's policy on national savings fund targets; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ian Stewart

As my right hon. Friend said in his Budget speech, national savings make an important contribution to financing the PSBR. The target for 1984–85 is £3 billion, the same as in the previous two years.
