§ Mr. KirkwoodTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the levels of investment in industry in Scotland, the south of Scotland and the Borders for every year since 1979, with 1979 = 100.
§ Mr. LangIndustrial investment figures are available only for Scotland as a whole.
The table below gives estimates of gross domestic fixed capital formation for industry in Scotland at current prices for each year since 1979 to 1987, the latest year for which figures are available.
These figures have not been indexed with 1979 = 100 as this is appropriate only when comparing data through time at constant prices. Constant price figures are not available as separate price deflators are not available for Scotland.
