HC Deb 21 February 1995 vol 255 cc152-3W
Mr. Andrew Smith

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he plans to publish the results of the consultation on the resource accounting and budget Green Paper.

Mr. Heathcoat-Amory

[holding answer 20 February 1995]: There have been more than 40 responses to the Green Paper on resource accounting and budgeting, including the National Audit Office, a large part of the United Kingdom accounting profession and academic interest as well as individuals. So far, the Green Paper has received almost unanimous support in principle, although there is a variety of views on the particular policies it proposes. Responses are still coming in. The Government will publish details of these responses when they announce decisions on the proposals set out in the Green Paper.
