67. Mr. Ernest Davies

asked the Minister of Information if he will state the amount of capital expenditure on engineering and equipment by the B.B.C., from 1st September, 1939, to 31st March, 1945, inclusive.

Mr. Williams

I am informed by the B.B.C. that the Corporation's capital expenditure on engineering works and equipment during the period mentioned was about £3,550,000. In addition, Lend-Lease equipment to the value of £350,000 was brought into service by the Corporation.

Mr. Davies

Was this expenditure sanctioned and paid for out of the grant in aid?
