HC Deb 23 October 1987 vol 120 c922W
Mr. Bill Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the external financing limit for the South of Scotland electricity board in the current financial year.

Mr. Lang

My right hon. and learned Friend proposes to make the following change to the external financing limit of the South of Scotland Electricity Board in 1987–88:

£million
Previous limit 84
Revised limit 125
Change 41

The increase in the limit reflects the board's requirement for additional borrowing to cover higher than expected nuclear costs falling within the current year.
