THE DOMESTIC RATE RELIEF

HC Deb 11 November 1980 vol 992 c300

Lords amendment: No. 49, in page 44, line 43, leave out "determined" and insert "calculated".

8.15 pm

Mr. King

I beg to move, That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said amendment.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

With this we may take Lords amendments Nos. 59, 64 and 174.

Mr. King

The amendment is essentially a change in terminology. If the word "determined" was left in, the domestic rate relief grant payable to every local authority would have to be specified in the initial rate support grant order, which is impossible. It has to be calculated subsequently.
