HC Deb 13 March 1981 vol 1000 cc424-7W
Mr. Dewar

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish in the Official Report a table showing the following information for each Scottish local authority (a) for 1979–80: expenditure need implicit in the needs element distribution formula; expenditure guideline, local authorities' budgeted expenditure, outturn expenditure, (b) for 1980–81: expenditure need implicit in the needs element distribution formula, expenditure guideline, local authorities' budgeted expenditure and (c) for 1981–82: expenditure need implicit in the needs element distribution formula and expenditure guideline.

Mr. Younger

The following table gives for all authorities guidelines, budgeted expenditure and estimated outturn for 1979–80 at November 1978 prices and budgeted expenditure for 1980–81 at November 1979 prices. As for calculation of guidelines for 1980–81 and 1981–82, 1 have nothing to add to the information given on 30 June 1980 and on 26 January 1981 in reply to questions from the hon. Member for Dundee, West (Mr. Ross), and the right hon. Member for Glasgow, Craigton (Mr. Millan).ߞ[Vol. 987, c. 406–7; Vol. 999, c. 290–9.}. I am not aware of, and cannot therefore comment on, the implications for guidelines of the needs element distribution formula used by the previous Administration in the rate support grant settlement for 1979–80.
