HC Deb 31 January 1991 vol 184 cc621-2W
Mr. Graham

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if he will list the total budgets agreed at the present time in respect of each proposed local enterprise company within the former Scottish Development Agency area;

(2) if he will list the total budgets proposed by each local enterprise company which is being established in Scotland under Scottish Enterprise and Highlands and Islands Enterprise.

Mr. Allan Stewart

These are operational matters for Scottish Enterprise and Highlands and Islands Enterprise and I have asked the chairmen to write to the hon. Member.

Mr. Graham

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the total budgets agreed at the present time in respect of the eight proposed local enterprise companies under Highland Enterprise.

Mr. Allan Stewart

These are operational matters for Highlands and Islands Enterprise and I have asked the chairman to write to the hon. Member.

Mr. Graham

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing the total urban programme budgets available in 1989–90, 1990–91 and 1991–92 in the following district authority areas(a) Clydebank, (b) Clydesdale, (c) Cumbernauld and Kilsyth, (d) Cumnock and Doon Valley, (e) Cunninghame, (f) Dumbarton, (g) East Kilbride, (h) City of Glasgow, (i) Hamilton, (j) Inverclyde, (k) Kilmarnock and Loudoun, (l) Kyle and Carrick, (m) Monklands, (n) Motherwell, (o) Renfrew and (p) Strathkelvin, together with (i) the actual expenditure for 1989–90, (ii) the actual expenditure so far for 1990–91 and (iii) the total projected expenditure for 1990–91, in each case.

Mr. Allan Stewart

The resources of the urban programme are not allocated as budgets for district authority areas. However, the table gives details for the urban programme-approved project expenditure for 1989–90 and 1990–91 for the district councils for the areas in question. These figures do not include approved expenditure by relevant regional councils as this cannot be accurately apportioned to district authority areas without disproportionate difficulty. The table also provides corresponding information on actual expenditure which is available only for 1989–90. No information is provided for 1991–92 as decisions have still to be taken about the distribution of a substantial portion of the resources which will be available in that year.
