HC Deb 09 February 1971 vol 811 c153W
Mr. Gwynoro Jones

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much money has been allocated to ports in Wales in 1970–71 to 1974–75 out of the total specified on page 28 of the White Paper on Public Expenditure, January, 1971; and how much the figures differ from those envisaged in Command Paper No. 4234.

Mr. Peyton

The figures given in the tables on pages 25 and 28 of Cmnd. 4578 include about £24 million for ports in Wales in the period from 1970–71 to 1974–75. Only two years of this period (1970–71 and 1971–72) were included in the parallel tables in Cmnd. 4234. The total for those two years was about £10 million in both White Papers.
