HC Deb 25 November 1987 vol 123 c221W
Mr. Gould

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will list the main reasons for the changes in the planning totals for the Department of Trade and Industry for 1987–88 and 1988–89.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

The increase in forecast outturn for 1987–88 as against the planning total published in Cmnd. 56 reflects increased regional expenditure, transferred responsibilities for the inner cities programme, and launch aid for the Airbus A330/340. The higher planning total for 1988–89 also reflects the importance that we attach to programmes directed at economic growth and wealth creation. Further details will be given in the public expenditure White Paper in January.
