§ Mr. SharplesThe estimated expenditure on the police in Wales for the years 1970–71 to 1972–73 included in Table 2.13 of the White Paper on Public Expenditure 1969–70 to 1974–75 is as follows:
£ million 1970–71 1971–72 1972–73 Capital expenditure 1.3 1.3 1.4 Current expenditure 12.6 13.3 13.7 Specific estimates are not available for later years but expenditure may be expected to continue at the same proportionate rate. Allowing for different price bases, the figures do not differ from those in Command 4234.
