§ Mrs. Ewingasked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs by what percentage he estimates there will be less available for private exenditure next year as against 1966 in Scotland, England and Wales, respectively.
Mr. Alan WilliamsThere are no separate estimates for Scotland, England and Wales for private expenditure; but there is no reason to expect markedly different developments in each country. Over the nation as a whole, private expenditure in both 1968 and 1969 is likely to be higher than in 1966.
