HC Deb 19 November 1969 vol 791 c328W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Minister of Technology how much was spent by his Department in 1967–68 and 1968–69 in Scotland; and what proportion was this of the total expenditure for the United Kingdom.

Mr. Varley

In 1967–68, Supply expenditure in Scotland within the field for which the Department is now responsible amounted to about £106 million, which was 9.3 per cent. of the total for the United Kingdom.

The outturn of expenditure for 1968–69 is still being analysed, but I hope to be able to provide the information requested early in the new year.
