HC Deb 23 November 1973 vol 864 c562W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will arrange for a survey to be made showing both the current payments made by central Government to Wales and the contributions made by Wales to the central Exchequer.

Mr. Peter Thomas

Surveys have been made in the past and shown that Wales has an overall deficit with the rest of the United Kingdom. I will bear in mind the hon. Member's suggestion of a further survey.
