HC Deb 06 November 1986 vol 103 c517W
21. Mr. Hirst

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his latest estimate of public and private investment in the current financial year; how this compares with the respective totals in 1985–86; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. MacGregor

Investment was at an all-time high in 1985 and I expect it to reach a new record level again this year.
