§ Mr. DonohoeTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many of those individuals not re-appointed to the Salmon advisory committee in 1993 were(a) ineligible through age or (b) unwilling to serve a further term.
§ Sir Hector Monro[holding answer 15 June 1993]: I refer to the reply by my hon. Friend the Minister of State, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, on 14 June at column 396.

1. Information on local authorities' capital budgets is not held centrally. The Secretary of State does, however, give his consent annually to local authorities to incur liabilities to meet capital expenditure. This is given in the form of individual capital consent allocations as well as consent to meet capital expenses from capital receipts and revenue and private sector contributions. In addition local authorities eligible for assistance from the European regional development fund will receive in 1993–94 supplementary consent equal to the amount of grant they receive. The figures provided are therefore the total capital allocations including housing for 1993–94 and not the capital budgets.
