HC Deb 31 October 1979 vol 972 cc573-4W
Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what proportion of the estimated expenditure of each London borough council was met by the needs and resources element of the rate support grant in 1978–79; what are the comparable figures for 1979–80; and what are the comparable figures for each shire county, taking the figures for districts in each county together with that of the shire county.

Mr. King

The proportion of the estimated expenditure of London boroughs and shire counties met by the needs and resources elements of the rate support grant can be derived from material included in the annual publications of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy for the years 1978–79 and 1979–80.
