HC Deb 19 January 1970 vol 794 c65W
Mr. Kenneth Baker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is, for the period of the calendar years 1964 to 1969, the percentage growth in industrial investment in the public sector and in the private sector, respectively.

Mr. William Rodgers

From the calendar year 1964 to the year ending 30th September, 1969, the latest year for which information is available, investment at current prices by all industries except dwellings and public services in the public sector increased by 25 per cent. and in the private sector increased by 36 per cent. These increases are affected by the nationalisation of the steel industry.
