HC Deb 24 June 1993 vol 227 c247W
Mr. Milligan

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what arrangements he is making for the issue of supplementary credit approvals to local authorities in England in respect of ERDF grants in 1993–94.

Mr. Curry

Supplementary credit approvals will be issued quarterly for ERDF expenditure defrayed on approved projects for which local authorities have submitted grant claims. In addition, temporary increases in authorities' aggregate credit limits will be available on request to assist the financing of expenditure on approved ERDF projects in the period before supplementary credit approvals are received. Local authorities in England are being advised by letter today of these arrangements.
