24. Mr. Kirkwood

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will review the formula to be used in April to distribute Department of Social Security resources in the new community care provisions in the Borders region; and if he will make a statement.

My noble and learned Friend the Minister of State made clear when the Department of Social Security transfer was announced in October 1992 that the distribution within Scotland would be reviewed after the first year of operation.
