HC Deb 15 May 1978 vol 950 c14W
Mr. Mudd

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment by how much his Department's expenditure per capita in Cornwall exceeds, or is less than, that of the national average per capita in respect of his Department.

Mr. Shore

The latest estimate of per capita expenditure for 1977–78 on the two major elements of the Department's expenditure—rate support grant and housing subsidies—in respect of Cornwall is £143. This is £14 less than the comparable figure for England and Wales as a whole.
