Mr. Moore

I have been asked to reply.

Net receipts treated as central privatisation proceeds for each of the years 1980–81 to 1984–85 are set out in table 2.23 of the 1986 public expenditure White Paper, Cmnd. 9702–11. For 1979–80, this information is available in table 2.14 of the 1985 public expenditure White Paper, Cmnd. 9428–II. In 1985–86, the estimated net total of central privatisation proceeds shown in table 2.11 of Cmnd. 9702–II, was £2,622 million; the main components of this were the second instalment payable on British Telecom shares sold in November 1984 and receipts from the sales of residual Government shareholdings in British Aerospace, Britoil and Cable and Wireless.

Details of manpower and administrative savings made as a result of privatisation and contracting out are contained in the annual reports by the Treasury to the Treasury and Civil Service Select Committee which are available in the House of Commons Library. These reports cover each year up to 1984–85. The report for 1985–86 will be available in the autumn.
