Mr. Healey

It is estimated that in the financial year 1964–65 the figure will be about 6½ per cent. overall, including 9½, per cent. of works and lands expenditure and over 7½ per cent. of the total production expenditure. As a percentage of defence expenditure in the United Kingdom the overall percentage will be about 7½ per cent.
