§ Mr. GummerThe closing date for submission of applications under the Community outgoers scheme was 15 February 1987. By this date 425 applications for 76.9 million litres had been submitted. Of these, 24 worth 3.9 million litres had been withdrawn and a further 40 worth 14.7 million litres were awaiting landlord's consent. The final uptake under the scheme is not yet known because these figures are subject to adjustment in the light of withdrawals and landlords' consents which may be received after the closing date.
