Trade and Industry written question – answered at on 19 January 2004.
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how the funding for (a) coal liabilities and (b) coal health liabilities was allocated in 2003–04; and what amounts were allocated in each year since 1997.
The allocations, as set out in the Government's Expenditure Plans are:
1997–98 | 1998–99 | 1999–2000 | 2000–01 | 2001–02 | 2002–03 | 2003–4 | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Coal Liabilities | 226 | 131.6 | 1 16.8 | 209.6 | 179 | 131. 1 | 93. 3 |
Coal Health(20) | Inc. in above | 123.2 | 228.2 | 648 | 829.5 | 850 | 850 |
(20) These figures are provisional allocations. There is no cap to the allocation of funding for coal health liabilities, as the Treasury would make available to the Department whatever it takes to fund coal health claims.
