HC Deb 15 October 1990 vol 177 cc694-5W
Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will published the capital expenditure in Scotland on(a) vehicles, ships and aircraft, (b) plants and machinery, (c) private dwellings, (d) public dwellings and (e) other new buildings and works for the year 1974 and for every year since 1979, at 1985 prices.

Mr. Lang

The table gives the total gross domestic fixed capital formation GDFCF in Scotland in current prices for selected industries and dwellings for each of the years for which the information is requested. Estimates for other industries are not available. Estimates of GDFCF in private and public dwellings are given, but further analysis by asset type could be provided only at disproportionate cost. There are no separate Scottish deflators from which to construct constant price estimates.
