HC Deb 20 May 1980 vol 985 cc146-7W
Mr. Chapman

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the Government's plans for capital expenditure construction programmes in the public sector over the next four years.

Mr. Stanley

As explained in " The Government's Expenditure Plans 1980–81 to 1983–84 " (Cmnd. 7841) decisions have not yet been taken in all cases on allocations within the main programmes and it is not possible, therefore, to extend the analysis of capital expenditure on construction work beyond 1980–81.
