HC Deb 21 December 1976 vol 923 c128W
Mr. Robin F. Cook

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will publish in the Official Report a table showing (a) the amount included for defence in the White Paper on Public Expenditure and (b) the amount actually spent in each of the most recent five years at 1976 prices.

Mr. Mulley

It is not yet possible to give the information requested updated to 1976 survey prices, but it will be given in the new White Paper on Public Expenditure, to be published early next year.
