HC Deb 20 November 1986 vol 105 c341W
Mr. Maclennan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, following his Department's recent discussions with Highland regional council, he will arrange for enhanced capital allocations to be made available for social work projects in the region.

Mr. John Mackay

Highland regional council's provisional capital allocations for 1987–88 and future years, along with those of the other regional and islands councils in Scotland, will be reviewed early in the new year in the light of the resources available for social work building programmes. It would be inappropriate to speculate on the outcome.
