HC Deb 23 March 1979 vol 964 cc263-4W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council whether he will give for the latest and most convenient date the total amount of Exchequer funds spent on all matters connected with devolution for Wales and Scotland.

Mr. Foot

This information is not available and I regret that to provide it would involve disproportionate cost.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Lord President of the Council whether, in the light of the result of the referenda on devolution for Scotland and Wales, he will move to appoint a Select Committee to ascertain what action should now be taken on the general question of devolution for Scotland, Wales, Northrn Ireland and the regions of England.

Mr. Foot

I have nothing to add at the moment to what was said by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on 8 March 1979.—[Official Report, Vol. 963, c. 1481–4.]
