HC Deb 28 January 1997 vol 289 cc184-5W
Mr. Wallace

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the amount given to each water and sewerage authority in Scotland in each financial year from 1990–91 to 1995–96, in respect of(a) first time water grant and (b) first time sewerage grant. [13059]

Mr. Kynoch

The information is not available in the form requested since no distinction was made between water and sewerage grants paid for first time provision and general improvement of the supply of the services. Details of the amounts paid to each water and sewerage authority for general improvement, from 1990–91 up to and including 1995–96, are set out in the tables.
