HC Deb 30 November 1987 vol 123 c383W
Mr. Bruce

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will allow increased capital consents to Grampian regional council to deal with problems of repair and replacement of educational buildings in Aberdeen which have been found to have serious structural faults.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

We are currently considering how consent to incur capital expenditure in 1988–89 and later years should be allocated, and I will most certainly take account of the problems which have recently materialised in Aberdeen. We expect to complete our deliberations early in 1988. My right hon. and learned Friend cannot give any undertakings about allocations to Grampian regional council at this stage.
