§ 3. Mr. Padleyasked the Secretary of State for Wales whether he will confirm that the £31 million, including £9 million for Bridgend, for hospital construction which he announced on 20th December 1976 is in terms of 1976 prices and will be protected from inflation.
§ The Under-Secretary of State for Wales (Mr. Barry Jones)These figures are expressed in terms of 1976 price levels. We intend, so far as possible, to ensure that these sums remain unchanged in real terms.
§ Mr. PadleyI thank my hon. Friend for that reply.
