HC Deb 14 March 1978 vol 946 c142W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the farming capital grants made in Scotland during 1977 by the EEC Agricultural Guidance Fund; and if he will give estimates of this assistance in 1978.

Mr. Hugh D. Brown

Amounts received from the EEC Agricultural Guidance Fund in 1977, and estimated receipts in 1978, are as follows:

provision in its capital strategy for £4 million to be used for purpose-built accommodation at Central Middlesex Hospital for psychiatric and geriatric services. These proposals accord with my Department's policy that a proportion of geriatric and psychiatric beds should be provided at the District General Hospital. Providing them in other hospitals in the district would not meet this requirement.
