The increase takes account of a £200,000 increase in provision for Scottish Enterprise in respect of European Community projects supported by the RECHAR programme; and to carry forward the £748,000 capital underspend on roads and transport in respect of end-year flexibility arrangements as announced by the Chief Secretary on 15 July 1992, Official Report, cols 698–702.b. The cash limit for class XV, vote 13, education and arts and libraries, Scotland will be increased by £2,341,000 from £260,274,000 to £262,615,000.
