Resolved,
That this House welcomes the substantial assistance given by Her Majesty's Government to local authorities and the expansion of local services over the past eight years which this assistance has made possible, approves the principle of giving most help to authorities in greatest need embodied in the system of rate deficiency grants, and endorses the change from percentage grants to a system of general grants which resulted from the recent review of the general relationship between central and local government.
