HC Deb 09 February 1948 vol 447 cc24-5W
Mr. D. J. Williams

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount proposed to be spent on factory building in each of the Development Areas; and the amount by which these sums will be reduced as a result of the cuts in the capital investment programme.

Sir S. Cripps

Information about the value of new factory buildings approved and under construction in each of the Development Areas is published in Table 84 of the January Issue of the "Monthly Digest of Statistics" to which I would ask my hon. Friend to refer. The information asked for in the second part of the Question is not available as the review of factory building announced in the White Paper on Capital Investment in 1948 (Cmd. 6278, page 12) is not yet completed.
