asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement about the financial assistance he intends to give for the building of the Exit Youth Club in Glenrothes, Fife.
Mr Hector Monro
, Dumfriesshire
Since the education authority has now told my right hon. Friend that it and the district council have agreed to offer grants of £18,000 and £12,000 respectively, he will be writing shortly to the authority offering the maximum grant of £25,000.
Mr Willie Hamilton

I thank the hon. Gentleman for his answer to my letter on this subject a few weeks ago. Will he give an assurance that, contrary to what he indicated in his letter, the project will go ahead quickly within the next month?
Mr Hector Monro
, Dumfriesshire
Yes, I can give the hon. Gentleman that assurance. The letter will confirm that the project can proceed next month.
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
