Mr. Edward M. Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the capital value of educational building projects, including further education buildings, on which work was started in 1967; what percentage increase this represents compared with 1966, 1965 and 1964, respectively; and what estimate he has made of the capital value of projects to be starled in 1968.
§ Mr. RossThe figures are £ 30.5 million, 20.2 per cent., 407 per cent. and 6.7 per cent. respectively. I cannot yet say how much work will start in the calendar year 1968, but it will be considerably higher than in 1967.
