HC Deb 14 March 1985 vol 75 c215W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he has concerning the comparative levels of expenditure upon infrastructure construction in the United Kingdom, in each of the other member countries of the European Economic Community, the United States of America and Canada as a total figure in sterling equivalent and as a percentage of gross national product.

Mr. Gow

I regret that reliable data concerning the levels of expenditure upon infrastructure are not readily available for international comparisons.
