§ Mr. Templeasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what is the proportion of local government expenditure under grant-aided services which is attributable to education within general grant orders, or where applicable taking the general grant orders together with their respective general grant increase orders, for the years 1959–60 to 1964–65, inclusive.
§ Mr. CrossmanThe required information is as follows. The figures take increase orders into account.
he has yet received the report of the Working Party on the general grants order; and if he will arrange for this 111W report to be published well in advance of the next general grant order coming before the House.
§ Mr. CrossmanNo report was required of the working party. Their study of the stautory structure of the distribution formula for general grant was overtaken by the general review of central and local government finance and is being considered as part of that review.
