Public Expenditure

HC Deb 22 July 1988 vol 137 c842W

Mr. Worthington

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in theOfficial Report a table on the functional analysis of United Kingdom public expenditure, modelled on table 2.7 of Cm. 288-I, showing charges netted against each line for each of the years 1982–83 to 1990–91.

Mr. Major

I refer the hon. Member to the departmental breakdown of charges in respect of programme expenditure that I gave him on 27 May 1988, at columns 375–76. The detailed functional analysis requested could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
