Mr. H. Wilsonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in view of the confusion caused by official statements about the past, present, and future rate of investment in the nationalised industries, and by divergent figures in the Blue Book on National Income, whether he will now state the expected figure of capital investment in the nationalised industries for the current year, the actual figure for the previous year on a comparable basis, and the planned rate for next year on the same basis.
Mr. AmoryI would refer the right hon. Member to my reply to the noble Lord the Member for Dorset, South (Viscount Hinchingbrooke) on 18th November.
