HC Deb 21 July 1975 vol 896 c57W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if, using constant prices, he will publish a table showing the capital expenditure on roads and housing, respectively, in Ulster in each of the past 15 years.

Mr. Concannon

The information on capital expenditure on roads is as follows:

£million (1960 prices)
1960–61 5.1
1961–62 5.9
1962–63 5.5
1963–64 6.9
1964–65 11.0
1965–66 12.0
1966–67 12.4
1967–68 14.8
1968–69 12.0
19o9–70 12.3
1970–71 11.5
1971–72 9.9
1972–73 9.6
1973–74 10.2
1974–75 8.9

Similar information on housing would require the collation of the capital expenditure of 65 former local authorities and cannot be provided without a disproportionate use of resources.
