Interest Rates

HC Deb 10 June 1988 vol 134 c705W

Mr. Gordon Brown

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give the assumptions on interest rates for 1988–89, 1989–90 and 1990–91 used in calculating table 2.17 of Cm. 288–1.

Mr. Lilley

It is not the practice to give interest rate assumptions, which are market sensitive.
