§ Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will set out in tabular form, for each year since 1969 to the latest now available, identifiable public expenditure by programme in each standard region of England and in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales expressed (a) in total cash terms and (b) in cash terms per head of population.
§ Mr. MacGregorI refer the hon. Member to the reply given to my hon. Friend the Member for Aberdeen, South (Mr. Malone) on 22 February 1985 at column606 which gave figures back to 1979–80. I shall arrange for more recent data to be published in the Official Report as soon as it becomes available. However, this will only cover identifiable public expenditure in England, Wales, 332W Scotland and Northern Ireland; total public expenditure figures for regions within England are not available. Figures going back to 1969 are not available.
