§ Mr. Ogdenasked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will list the financial assistance provided through his Department in (a) the Liverpool Disrict Council area, and (b) the Merseyside County Council area, for the services for which he has responsibility, in the financial years 1974–75, 1975–76 and 1976–77.
§ Dr. John A. CunninghamExpenditure by the Department of Energy in the North-West Region as a whole is assessed at £31 million in 1974–75 and £54 million in 1975–76. Expenditure for 1976–77 is not yet available. I regret that figures for particular areas within the region could not be identified without disproportionate expense.
