To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, pursuant to his answer of 19 March 1998, Official Report, column 733, what proportion of the £13 million budgeted receipts for the 1997–98 financial year of the Cardiff Bay Development Corporation his Department assumed would accrue from Associated British Ports in its budget calculations prior to commencement of the present financial year.[37015]

Details of the make-up of the receipts in 1997–98 are an operational matter for the Corporation and I have asked the Chief Executive to reply. A copy of his reply will be placed in the Library.
