HC Deb 21 January 1997 vol 288 cc542-3W
Mr. Stewart

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what is her latest estimate of current expenditure on and take-up of career development loans in(a) the Eastwood constituency, (b) Renfrewshire and (c) Scotland. [11658]

Mr. Paice

Expenditure estimates on CDLs are not available below national level. The number of approved CDLs in Scotland for the year 1996–97 as at 31 December is 617. Figures below Scotland can be provided only at disproportionate cost.
