of the Scottish Office led initiative; what has been the expenditure in (a) capital and (b) revenue terms in each area during that period; and if he will make a statement.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

My right hon. Friend has made no estimate of the movement of residents from the Ferguslie Park partnership area to the Foxbar, Rivers area of Paisley. Full information on public expenditure in Ferguslie Park and Foxbar, Rivers since the launch of the Ferguslie Park Partnership is not available. The following tables summarise available information. In all tables "n.a." indicates "not available".

Urban Partnership Vote Expenditure
£ million
Ferguslie Park
1989–90 0.135
1990–91 0.405
1991–92 0.538
1992–93 0.575
1993–94 0.639

Note: The Urban Partnership Vote meets most of the running costs of the Partnership and provides some funding for projects and consultancies. Support from this source is only available to Partnership areas and so no figures are shown for Foxbar, Rivers.

1991–92 1992–93 1993–94
Ferguslie Park 2.700 7.100 6.500
