Sir Anthony Grant: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the change in the purchasing power of the pound between (a) 1967
and 1996, (b) 1970 and 1975, (c) 1975 and 1980, (d) 1980 and 1990 and (e) 1990 and 1996; and if he will make a statement. [15373]
Mrs. Angela Knight: [holding answer 11 February 1996]: This information requested falls within the responsibility of the chief
executive of the Office for National Statistics. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given.
Letter from Tim Holt to Sir Anthony Grant, dated 24 February 1997:
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has asked me to reply as the Director of the Office for National Statistics to your recent question
on the change in the purchasing power of the pound.
The figures requested are shown in the table, and have been calculated from the Retail Prices Index (PRI). Each figure represents
the value that a fixed sum of money has in the last year of the given period, expressed as a percentage of its value in the first
year of the period. For example, the amount of goods and services which could be purchased (in the UK) with £1 in 1996 is ten per
cent of the amount that £1 could have purchased 29 years earlier in 1967. Similarly, the amount of goods and services which could
have been purchased with £1 in 1975 is 54% of the amount that could have been purchased five years earlier in 1970.
It should be borne in mind when making comparisons that the periods covered span different numbers of years.

Sir Anthony Grant: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what are his plans for the procurement of new utility vehicles and
ambulances for the British Army; and if he will make a statement. [10825]
Mr. Arbuthnot: There is a pressing need to replace about half the current fleet of Land Rover utility vehicles, many of which have
reached the end of their operational lives. Subject to the satisfactory completion of contractual negotiations, we propose to place
an order with Land Rover for about 8,000 new vehicles, known commercially as "Defender XD", to meet the Army's light and medium
utility truck requirement. We also intend to place an order for 65 additional Pinzgauer vehicles, supplied by Steyr Daimler Puch, to
enhance the fleet of these vehicles which is already successfully in service to meet the Army's heavy duty medium truck requirement.
The Army and Royal Marines also need to replace their aging battlefield ambulances with vehicles providing better conditions for
casualties, improved medical facilities and greater reliability. The competition for this programme has been particularly close,
with vehicles offered by Land Rover and Steyr Daimler Puch both meeting the operational requirement. Both vehicles demonstrated
excellent technical qualities. The Land Rover however, provides, in particular, excellent working conditions for the medical crew
and commonality both with the new utility vehicles and the in-service Land Rover fleet. Also its acquisition cost is lower than the
Steyr. We have, therefore, decided to award the contract for the supply of about 800 ambulances to Land Rover, subject to the
satisfactory conclusion of contract negotiations.
These decisions are good news for the armed forces. Both of the new Land Rover vehicles will enter service this summer and will be
available for operational deployment in support of IFOR.
