HC Deb 06 June 1995 vol 261 cc165-7W
Mr. George Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many and what proportion of local authority direct labour-services organisations in Scotland, operating contracts under the terms of the Local Government (Planning and Land) Act 1980, have achieved the required rate of return for the financial year 1992–93 and 1993–94. [26708]

Mr. Lang

In 1992–93, 74 DLOs-DSOs, in an individual service area, met the prescribed financial objective. This represented 94.9 per cent. of the total returns received. In 1993–94, 75 met the prescribed financial objective: this represented 92.6 per cent of the total returns received. The figures for both years include a small number of returns from new town development corporations.
