§ Mr. Nicholas Edwardsasked the Secretary of State for Wales what is his latest estimate of total public spending in Wales in each of the main Departments in each year since 1970–71 and for projected expenditure in 1975–76 and 1976–77 at current prices and at 1974 Survey prices.
§ Mr. John MorrisFor details of identifiable public expenditure in Wales, at outturn prices, between 1970–71 and the latest year available, 1973–74, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave him on 6th May. A comparable analysis at 1974 Survey prices is not available. Comprehensive estimates of future public expenditure in Wales on programmes that are my Department's responsibility are contained (at 1974 Survey prices only) in the White Paper "Public Expenditure to 1978–79" (Table 2.19, Cmnd. 5879).—[Vol. 891, c.436.]
