§ Mrs. Ewingasked 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. VarleyIn 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.
