HC Deb 10 July 2002 vol 388 cc1030-1W
Adam Price

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the Treasury sets limits on the contingent liabilities into which the devolved Administrations may enter. [68027]

Mr. Boateng

No. Contingent liabilities entered into by the devolved Administrations fall to be met within their existing departmental expenditure limits if the contingent liabilities materialise.
