HC Deb 07 March 1991 vol 187 c278W
Mr. Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has any plans to introduce a scheme for local authorities in Scotland comparable to that announced by the hon. Member for Banbury (Mr. Baldry) on 2 January.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

We have no plans to introduce in Scotland a system of supplementary credit approvals for local authority investment in recycling projects. The arrangements for handling recycling investment through local authority capital expenditure allocations are given in my reply of 24 January 1991 to my honourable Friend the Member for Erewash (Mr. Rost), at columns306–7.
