§ Mr. George Rodgersasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list in the Official Report the amount of money each local authority received by way of education units in the needs element of the rate support grant in the most recent three years.
§ Mr. OakesThe needs element of the rate support grant is paid in aid of the revenues of an authority generally. Although it is based on various factors prescribed in the annual Rate Support Grant Orders, including education units, it does not follow that the amount of grant attracted by a factor is intended to be applied to that particular service.
The total paid to local authorities included the amounts listed in the table below for the education units factor in 1974–75 and 1975–76. Details for 1976–77 are not yet available. Grants for 1973–74 were paid to the former authorities and are not comparable.
