HC Deb 04 March 1969 vol 779 cc85-6W
98. Mr. Arnold Shaw

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what was the rate support grant or its equivalent paid to the Greater London Borough of Redbridge in the year 1962–63; and what is the estimated grant for 1969–70.

Mr. Skeffington

The latest estimate of the rate support grants for the London borough of Redbridge for 1969–70 is £5,928,888. The corresponding grants for 1965–66 amounted to £3,511,854. Comparable figures for 1962–63 for the areas now comprising the London borough are not available. Most of the relevant grant was payable to the Essex County Council at that time.
