Public Works Loan Board

The Public Works Loan Board, first established in 1793, provides loans from the National Loans Fund to local authorities in England, Scotland and Wales. Under current arrangements loans are normally made to meet capital expenditure but the Board is also ready to act as lender of last resort.
