§ Mr. Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will state the estimated percentage share of 175W procurement expenditure on equipment purchased from England, Wales and Northern Ireland in the 1986–87 financial year.
§ Mr. Archie Hamilton[pursuant to my answer, 9 March 1987]: Estimates of regional equipment expenditure are only available for completed financial years. Of defence equipment expenditure in 1985–86, it is estimated that 82 per cent. was in England, 2 per cent. in Wales and 1 per cent. in Northern Ireland.
