from national statistics:-

"At the end of 2004 general government debt was £481.4 billion, equivalent to 41.6 per cent of GDP."

from the BBC key points:-
"Borrowing was forecast at £34bn for 2004/5, £32bn for 2005/6 and £29bn for 2006/7."

So each year he's spending around £30,000 ,000,000 more than he takes in tax receipts?
