HC Deb 29 April 1981 vol 3 c420W
Sir David Price

asked the Secreary of State for Defence if he will list under major heads of expenditure his Department's proposed capital expenditure through 1981–82.

Mr. Nott

Although net capital expenditure—as defined for national accounts classification purposes—is estimated at only £105 million (details are given in Class I Supply Estimates 1981–82, HC190–1), the defence budget for 1981–82 provides a further £5,241 million for equipment procurement and £268 million for new works services.
