Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what is the percentage increase or decrease in real investment in manufacturing in each planning region of the United Kingdom when comparing 1972 with 1970; and if he will make a statement on the prospect for each region in 1973 and 1974.

Sir G. Howe

Figures for 1970 and 1972 are not yet available. No assessment has been made of the prospects for investment in individual regions in 1973 and 1974.
