HC Deb 15 May 1984 vol 60 c108W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the impact of sales of public sector assets on the cost and availability of funds for new investment in the United Kingdom by the private sector.

Mr. Moore

The programme of public sector assets sales was taken into account in setting the PSBR. It is unlikely to have a significant effect on the cost and availability of funds for new private investment.
