§ Mr. Goodhewasked the Secretary of State for Defence, how much of the total Defence Budget for 1969–70 is estimated to return to the Revenue as taxation, respectively, on pay and allowances of the forces and civilians employed by the forces, pensions and retired pay, company profits on production, research and development and pay of employees involved therein, petrol, oil and other items shown separately; and what percentage of the Defence Budget each amount represents.
§ Mr. HealeyThe information for the private sector is not available. That for the public sector is not readily available and it would involve disproportionate effort to obtain even an approximation.
