HC Deb 31 October 1990 vol 178 cc571-2W
Mr. Beith

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will show for each region in table 11.4 of "Regional Trends"—1988—or the subsequent year, the breakdown of the item "Public Administration and Defence" into the sub-categories(a) agriculture, (b) trade and industry, (c) employment, (d) transport, (e) environment and (f) law enforcement showing separately the spending on health and education services.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The information requested is not available.

The latest estimates of gross domestic product by industry group are published in the 1990 edition of "Regional Trends" at table 12.2. Provisional estimates for 1989 will be published in the November edition of "Economic Trends". The sample surveys on which the figures are based do not disaggregate public administration and defence.
