HC Deb 15 June 1989 vol 154 c482W
Mr. Butterfill

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans he has to increase the personal savings ratio.

Mr. Lilley

We expect many of the factors which led to the fall in the personal savings ratio to reverse themselves over the medium term. In addition, the rise in interest rates over the past year will encourage higher savings and lower borrowing.
