HC Deb 09 December 1947 vol 445 cc176-7W
102 and 105. Mr. Scollan

asked the Minister of Works (1) what has been the capital expenditure in the London area on new works and extensions on old works, respectively, since July, 1945;

(2) what has been the capital expenditure on new works and extensions on old works, respectively, in Scotland since July, 1945.

Mr. Durbin

There is no geographical classification of capital expenditure, but I estimate that in the field of building and civil engineering about £70 million has been spent in this period both in Scotland and in the London Region upon new works and extensions combined. I cannot give separate figures for these two types of work.
