§ Mr. Chichester-Clarkasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is the total value of contracts placed in Northern Ireland in 1969–70 by his Department; what is the estimated value for 1970–71; and what are these figures as a percentage of the total of the United Kingdom figure.
§ Mr. Anthony GrantI regret that the information is not readily available. With minor exceptions the Ministry of Aviation Supply places all contracts on behalf of this Department, but their value cannot be readily segregated from that of other contracts which the Ministry of Aviation Supply places.
