HC Deb 29 January 1986 vol 90 cc547-8W
32. Mr. David Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the total value of Scottish Development Agency moneys being transferred from the Glasgow eastern area renewal and wider East End areas of Glasgow to the garden festival project; and if he will list the individual projects and costs involved.

Mr. Allan Stewart

There has been no direct transfer of funds to the Glasgow garden festival project from funds previously allocated to the east end of Glasgow. In the light of many competing demands for its funds, the agency has reassessed the priorities attaching to particular projects. I am advised that the following projects in the east end of Glasgow are now unlikely to be carried out in 1985–86 or 1986–87: Parkhead rail line (cost £800,000); Barrowfield improvement (£90,000); Green View school stonecleaning (£60,000).
