§ Mr. Alec Jonesasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much of the £100 million capital expenditure by nationalised industries being brought forward into the years 1972–73 and 1973–74 will be spent in Wales; and how many additional jobs in Wales will be created as a result.
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinI estimate that not a large part of this particular expenditure is likely to be spent directly in Wales. However, since detailed contracts are still to be negotiated, no estimates can be made either of indirect expenditure in Wales or of the number of additional jobs which will be created.
