(The Balfour Beatty figure includes £24.37 million spend in respect of the Pergau hydro electric project before 1994–95. This project is no longer being financed by the aid and trade provision. It is not possible to provide figures for the amount of business retained by the prime contractor as opposed to the amount handled by subcontractors. It should however be noted that the extent of subcontracting is normally considerable.
