Public Investment (New Construction)

HC Deb 05 June 1972 vol 838 cc36-7W

Mr. Ted Fletcher

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the value per head of the population in each planning region of public investment in new construction, including dwellings, at the latest convenient date.

Mr. Higgins

Figures for public investment in new construction for each of the new standard regions for the years 1966–67 to 1970–71 are given in Table 37 of the Abstract of Regional Statistics (No. 7, 1971). Estimates of the population analysed in the same way for the years 1968 to 1971 appear in Tables 5 and 9 of the same publication.
