59. Earl of Dalkeithasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how much more 263W or less public money has been spent on Scottish roads, schools, technical colleges, hospitals, housing, slum clearance, derelict area clearance and agriculture, respectively, over the past four years in actual terms and real terms, respectively, than over the preceding four years; and what percentage change in real terms has occurred each year on each item as compared with the previous year.
§ Mr. RossFor available information on identifiable public expenditure in Scotland at current prices I would refer the hon. Member to Table 61 of the Digest of Scottish Statistics. It is not practicable to revalue these figures at constant prices, or to give comparable figures for years before 1962–63.
