HC Deb 21 February 1985 vol 73 cc556-7W
14. Mr. Adley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in the current year, he has received more, less, or about the average number of pre-budget representations; and what he deduces from this position.

Mr. Hayhoe

We have received many more representations about the Budget this year, perhaps because speculation and lobbying has been well above average.
