§ Mr. SalmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the share for Scotland of the United Kingdom's general Government borrowing requirement for each year from 1979–80 to 1994–95 expressed in 1996–97 prices. [1365]
§ Mr. Waldegrave[holding answer 31 October 1996]: I have been asked to reply.
Approximate estimates of the general Government borrowing requirement for Scotland in 1993–94 and 1994–95 are published in the "Government Expenditure and Revenue in Scotland" annual report. Figures for the complete period back to 1979–80 could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
