§ Mr. Ridleyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why the State Management districts have paid only £6,595 interest into the Consolidated Fund on capital assets valued at £2,233,620.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesThe figure of £6,595 in the Profit and Loss Account for the State Management Districts of Carlisle, Gretna and Cromarty for 1967–68 represents the difference between the total receipts, both actual and notional, and the total expenditure, both actual and notional. It does not represent interest paid on capital assets. All issues from the Consolidated Fund were finally repaid in 1927–28 from the receipts of the undertakings, which have since then been self-financing.
