HC Deb 17 November 1995 vol 267 c12W
Mr. Ian Bruce

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what change he has made to British Coal's external financing limit for 1995–96. [1251]

Mr. Lang

British Coal's external financing limit has been adjusted from £35 million to £59 million, to reflect the continuing management by British Coal of various ex-employee liabilities which are not expected to pass to Government until 1997.
