§ Mr. Gwynfor Evansasked the Secretary of State for Industry how much capital expenditure there has been by manufacturing establishments in Wales and England, respectively, in 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1975.
§ Mr. KaufmanIn 1972 capital expenditure by manufacturing establishments in Wales was £184 million and in England £1,570 million. Later figures are not available at this stage. Net transactions in land and existing buildings are included and, chiefly for this reason, the144W figures are not directly comparable with those published regularly for the United Kingdom as a whole.
