HC Deb 20 June 1944 vol 401 c40W
Sir L. Lyle

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, for the purposes of establishing the measure of public investment which it is essential to know in connection with the Government White Paper on Employment, he will ascertain what capital expenditure was defrayed by public utility concerns in each year 1931 to 1938 on activities productive of employment at home.

Sir J. Anderson

The figures asked for by my hon. Friend are not immediately available; but estimates will be prepared and I will circulate them in due course.
