§ Mr. Sillarsasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many applications for borrowing approval he now has before him for recreational projects which local authorities in the Cumnock and Doon Valley areas wish to pursue; and when he expects to decide on the applications.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellCumnock District Council have sought borrowing consent for six recreational projects and I expect to let the district council have my decision on four of them shortly. As regards the remaining projects, the district council submitted proposals last week for one, and I am waiting for further information from them about the other. Cumnock Town Council and Dalmellington District Council have each sought borrowing consent for one recreational project. I am awaiting further details about both of these.
