asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) if he will provide a table showing public expenditure by economic category at 1976 survey prices, for the years 1964–65 to 1970–71 inclusive, on the same basis as Table 7 of Command Paper No 6721-I;(2) if he will provide a table showing the changes in public expenditure by main programme, distinguishing current and capital expenditure (a) between 1976–77 and the proposals contained in Command Paper No. 6721 for 1977–78, and (b) between the Command Paper No. 6393, proposals for 1977–78 and those contained in Command Paper No. 6721 for the same year.

I will let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
