§ Mr. Strawasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what information he has on deferred purchase arrangements entered into by the Harrogate district council.
§ Dr. BoysonHarrogate borough council entered into a deferred purchase arrangement in 1977 to finance the construction of a conference centre. This arrangement was terminated in 1982 with the assistance of an approval for additional conventional borrowing from my right hon. Friend the then Secretary of State. The approval was given at a time of substantial capital underspending by local authorities nationally in recognition that the borough council was facing unforeseen financial difficulties as a result of its commitment to the conference centre. I have no information as to whether the Council has entered into other such arrangements.
