HC Deb 26 April 1988 vol 132 c152W
69. Mr. Geraint Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the proportion of quantifiable defence spending in Wales.

Mr. Ian Stewart

Defence expenditure is not accounted for on a regional basis. However, so far as procurement expenditure is concerned, I refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Defence Procurement to the hon. Member for Merionnydd Nant Conwy (Dr. Thomas) on 18 April at column334.
