HC Deb 30 March 1995 vol 257 cc802-3W
Mr. Raymond S. Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what changes he intends to make to the cash limits and external financing limits for 1994–95 within his responsibility. [17949]

Mr. Lang

The cash limit for class XIV, vote 3, training programmes, roads and transport services and industrial support, Scotland, will be reduced by £200,000 from £902,139,000 to £901,939,000. This decrease takes account of a reduced requirement for regional enterprise grant and will be used to make a contribution towards providing for an EFL for David MacBrayne Ltd. of £0.8 million which has arisen due to the transfer of surplus funds from DML to the Secretary of State. In addition, the provision for an EFL for DML will be offset by a reduction in the EFL for the Scottish Transport Group
