HC Deb 05 March 2001 vol 364 c41W
Mrs. Ewing

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how much money has been allocated to fund pilot schemes for post offices in Scotland to act(a) as Government general practitioners and (b) internet learning and access points. [151798]

Mr. Alan Johnson

The Scottish Executive received a funding consequential of £3.5 million as a result of money being allocated in England for the support of pilots of Government general practitioner and internet learning and access points. All funding consequentials contribute to a block allocation to the Scottish Executive. It is for Scottish Executive Ministers to decide how that money is allocated.
