Public Sector Borrowing Requirement (Hansard, 26 February 1987)

HC Deb 26 February 1987 vol 111 c370W 370W

§ 33. Mr. Kenneth Carlisle
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his latest estimate for the public sector borrowing requirement for the current financial year.

§ Mr. MacGregor
Both the 1986 "Financial Statement and Budget Report" and the "Autumn Statement" (Cm 14) envisaged a PSBR for 1986–87 of around £7 billion. It is now clear that the PSBR will undershoot this figure. A further estimate will be published next month in the "Financial Statement and Budget Report".
