Mr. Nicholas Brown

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer by how much he estimates the public sector borrowing requirement will fall in 1996–97 as a direct result of his decision to limit the availability of means-tested income support benefit for the unemployed to only six months; and how many people he estimates will be affected.

Mr. Portillo

No such decision has been taken.
