§ 23. Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement about Scottish Enterprise's budget.
§ Mr. StewartDetails of the 1992–93 budget for Scottish Enterprise are published in the supply estimates. Last month my right hon. Friend announced an additional £6 million for Scottish Enterprise for 1992–93 as part of the Government's measures to help boost the economy. Details of the 1993–94 budget will be published later. My right hon. Friend announced on 2 December planned gross provision for Scottish Enterprise for 1993–94 of £441 million. In addition to that figure, local enterprise companies are expected to secure receipts from the European regional development fund next year of towards £20 million. Overall planned resources from public sources therefore exceed this year's plans.
