HC Deb 25 January 1966 vol 723 cc6-7W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, taking 100 as the figure for investment per head in England and Wales, what were the figures for Scotland for the most recent year, in respect of education, hospitals, housing, and roads, respectively; and if he will state the total sums involved, respectively.

Mr. Callaghan

Taking 100 as the figure for investment per head in England and Wales, the figures for Scotland and the total sums involved for the financial year 1964–65 in respect of the services listed were as follows:

England and Wales as 100 Total sums involved
£m.
Education 112 24.9
Hospitals 112 8.3
Housing 170 83.4

These figures differ from those given on the 4th November, 1965, in reply to a Question by the hon. Member for Galloway (Mr. Brewis) because they take account of certain later information.
