§ Mr. Bill Walkerasked 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. LangMy 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.
