HC Deb 15 February 1972 vol 831 cc77-8W
69. Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, what was the total value of the recent public works programme allocated to Scotland; and what was the actual amount spent in Scotland.

Mr. Dudley Smith

Following is the information:

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Between July and December work worth £60 million was approved under the special programme on projects within my field of responsibility. A further £3 million has been allocated to Scotland within the programmes of Great Britain Departments. As the programme will not be substantially completed until March, 1973, the actual amount spent cannot yet be assessed.
