To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the current number of non-departmental public bodies operating in Scotland; and what is their combined annual budget.

A table showing the non-departmental public bodies sponsored by my Department at 1 April 1994 will be contained in the Cabinet Office publication "Public Bodies 1994", which will be published in the next few days. The information contained in that publication also shows the total expenditure of each of those bodies.
