HC Deb 18 July 1983 vol 46 cc40-1W
19. Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is the total identifiable public expenditure which is controlled by his Department, in the current financial year; and if he will give comparable figures at constant prices for 1979–80 and 1982–83 and projected levels for 1984–85 and 1985–86.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

Total expenditure within my responsibility for the current year is about £2,517 million. Comparable figures at cash prices for the other years indicated are contained in table 2.16 of the Government's expenditure plans 1983–84 — 1985–6 (Cmnd. 8789). Constant prices are not available.
