§ Mr. Sillarsasked the Secretary of State for Industry if his Department maintains information on petrochemical industry capital investment in each separate region in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. CryerCapital investment for petrochemical manufacture is not separately distinguished in my Department's statistics. Figures are included with those for the organic chemicals industry and for 1973 a partial regional breakdown is given in the Business Monitor PA 271.2 "Report on the Census of Production: Organic Chemicals" Table 5. I regret that no later regional information for this industry is available.
