HC Deb 15 February 1971 vol 811 cc315-6W
Mr. Gwynoro Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Wales how much money has been allocated to hospital capital and current expenditure, respectively, in Wales from 1970–71 to 1972–73 out of the total on page 37 of the White Paper on Public Expenditure, Command Paper No. 4578; and how these figures differ from those envisaged in Command Paper No. 4234.

Mr. Peter Thomas

The figures are as follows:

£ million
1970–71 1971–72 1972–73
Cmnd. 4578:
Capital 8.5 7.0 6.8
Current 53.9 57.4 59.2
Cmnd. 4234:
Capital 8.1 6.5
Current 51.0 54.0

The previous administration's White Paper (Cmnd. 4234) did not include comparable figures beyond 1971–72.
