HC Deb 07 May 1963 vol 677 c28W
21. Mr. Millan

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works what proportion of the £3,300,000 to be spent this year on furniture and equipment will be spent in Scotland; and how much was spent last year.

Mr. Rippon

The figure for this year cannot yet be given as purchases will depend on the results of competitive tendering. Something over £300,000 or some 10 per cent. of the total, was spent in Scotland last year.

22. Mr. Gourlay

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works how much of the £160,000 spent last year on the purchase of vehicles and plant was spent in Scotland; and how much of the estimate of £166,000 for this year will be spent there.

Mr. Rippon

During 1962–63, my Ministry spent £18,250. In 1963–64 it is expected that £8,000 will be spent.
