HC Deb 18 January 1971 vol 809 c169W
54. Mr. Sheldon

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what further estimate he has made of the level of industrial investment in 1971.

Mr. John Davies

The latest investment intentions inquiry taken at the end of 1970 suggests that manufacturers are expecting a small fall in their investment, in real terms, between 1970 and 1971.
