To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will give further details of the capital loan fund for mental health projects.

Mr. Freeman

The intention is that the capital loans fund will operate from 1 April 1990. The total sum committed over the three years from that date will be £50 million. An executive letter is being issued to health authorities, which provides details of the new arrangements and asks for bids by the end of March for the year 1990–91.
