Mr. Michael : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the establishments in Scotland which provide residential facilities for (a) those with alcohol problems and (b) those with drug problems ; if he will show for each establishment (i) the capital grant and (ii) the total revenue grant provided by his Department in each of the last five years ; and if he will provide estimated figures for 1992-93 and 1993-94.

Mr. Stewart [holding answer 18 January 1993] : Information on residential facilities for alcohol misusers is contained in The Scottish Council on Alcohol publication, "Alcohol Services in Scotland" and for drug misusers is

contained in the Scottish Drugs Forum/Health Education Board for Scotland's "Register of Helping Agencies", copies of which I am arranging to place in the Library.

Funding for residential establishments is provided directly and indirectly by the Scottish Office from a number of sources. Most funding for residential establishments is provided locally by local authorities and health boards either from funds specifically allocated for drug misuse or from their general allocations. Details of funding from all these sources could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

It is possible to provide information on the limited funding which is available from the Scottish Office for alcohol and drugs projects, including residential facilities, undertaken by voluntary sector organisations working in the social care field under section 10(1) of The Social Work (Scotland) Act 1968 and of the funding which is available under the urban programme. Details of the residential establishments benefiting under these schemes are set out in the tables.

<3>Nursing and midwifery includes qualified, unqualified and in-training

<6>Part of the increase in numbers in this group is accounted for by the  

transfer of some professional staff to senior manager grades.             

Ardrossan-Saltcoats-Stevenston Bypass

Mr. Wilson : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received from Messrs Wimpey on the proposed Ardrossan-Saltcoats-Stevenston bypass.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton [holding answer 18 January 1993] : Until such time as a public inquiry is held for a scheme, it is not the Department's practice to make public representations received by parties affected by the scheme.

Scottish Natural Heritage

Mr. Morley : To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland pursuant to his answers of 15 December 1992, Official Report, columns 169-70, when Scottish Natural Heritage will write to the hon. Member for Glanford and Scunthorpe.
