§ Mr. Bruce-Gardyneasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what estimate he has made of employment 81W likely to occur in development areas as a result of the £20 million Exchequer contribution towards the cost of 85 new trains for the Piccadilly Underground line, the £2.3 million Exchequer contribution towards the cost of research into the comfort of the London Underground system, and the £110 million Exchequer contribution to London Transport improvement schemes since summer 1971.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerDetails are not readily available, but I expect that most of the development areas will benefit from employment resulting from these investments.
