asked the Minister for the Environment if he will state in real terms the amount provided in the Public Capital Programme affecting the construction industry in the years 1982 to 1985 inclusive; the annual percentage change in activity; and the adjustment for change in VAT.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 166 and 167 together.
The value of Public Capital Programme expenditure affecting the building industry in each of the years 1982 to 1984 is set out in the following table together with the provision for 1985:

To provide the information requested in regard to the real value of the total expenditure figures, the consequent change in activity, or the adjustment for the change in VAT, it would be necessary to analyse in considerable detail the changes from year to year in the composition of these figures. The detailed information necessary to carry out such an analysis is not available.
