§ 47. Mr. Errollasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air whether the expenditure of £70 million on works and lands in 1953–54 was due to expenditure incurred primarily at home or abroad.
§ Mr. ErrollIs this enormous sum absolutely essential? Can it not be reduced in any other way?
Mr. WardI can assure my hon. Friend that we are watching every penny we spend as carefully as possible. As he knows as well as I do, the cost of these works services is very great and is rising all the time.
