Public Sector Borrowing Requirement (Hansard, 10 May 1984)

HC Deb 10 May 1984 vol 59 c435W 435W

§ 22. Mr. Renton
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what, on a full employment basis, is his target for the public sector borrowing requirement, expressed as a percentage of gross domestic product.

§ Mr. Peter Rees
Our forecast for the public sector borrowing requirement is that it will be 2.25 per cent. of GDP in 1984–85. No confident figure could be given on a hypothetical "full employment" basis.
