22. Mr. Philip Oppenheim

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what detailed information he has as to how his forecast of growth in the British economy in 1987 compares with expected growth in other major economies.

Mr. Lawson

I expect the United Kingdom economy to grow by 3 per cent. in 1987. The latest IMF forecasts indicate that this will be a higher rate of growth than in any other major industrial country.
