asked the Minister of Works (1) what has been the capital expenditure in the London area on new works and extensions on old works, respectively, since July, 1945;(2) what has been the capital expenditure on new works and extensions on old works, respectively, in Scotland since July, 1945.

There is no geographical classification of capital expenditure, but I estimate that in the field of building and civil engineering about £70 million has been spent in this period both in Scotland and in the London Region upon new works and extensions combined. I cannot give separate figures for these two types of work.
