Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what earnings increase amongst local authority workers is envisaged in the cash limit element of the rate support grant for 1977–78.

Mr. Shore

The cash limit is a limit on the additional grant payable in respect of the totality of pay and price changes affecting local authority expenditure. Its derivation is set out in Annexes B and C of DOE Circular 120/76.
