§ Dr. Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the basis of calculation of the figure of 24 per cent, in constraint (c) in paragraph 2 of annex D of the "Rate Support Grant Report (England) 1984–85".
§ Mr. Patrick JenkinIn my view, expenditure guidance based on an increase in budgeted expenditure of 24 per cent, since 1981–82 is the maximum acceptable in the circumstances, and so, where applicable, should override other factors in the target formula.
§ Mr. Murphyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will pay special attention to the financial record of the Hertfordshire county council and the representations made to him by hon. Members representing Hertfordshire constituencies when he draws up targets for rate support grant for 1985–86.
§ Mr. WaldegraveIn framing his proposals for 1985–86 my right hon. Friend will pay close attention to all the representations made to him.
§ Dr. Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish the block grant receipts of (a) Surrey county council, (b) the London borough of Lambeth and (c) Buckinghamshire county council at (i) budget stage and (ii) all supplementary reports in each year from 1981–82 to 1983–84.

82W
per cent. 1981–82* 54.8 1982–83*† 51.2 1983–84*‡ 49.9 1984–85║ 51.9 * Figures of grant after holdback taken from latest RSG supplementary reports for each year. † Relevant expenditure based on revised estimates supplied by local authorities. ‡ Relevant expenditure based on local authority budgets. ║ Relevant expenditure provision and AEG from 1984–85 RSG main report.

Proportion of relevant expenditure in 1983–84 per cent. Teachers' pay 22.0 Police pay 5.7 Higher education n/a* n/a = not available. * Budget information does not provide a breakdown of education into its component parts, but it is estimated that in 1982–83 the proportion of relevant expenditure for advanced further education was 2½ to 3 per cent. Information for 1984–85 is not available.
§ Mr. Blairasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will take steps to exempt from rate grant penalties expenditure by local authorities on employment schemes.
§ Mr. WaldegraveMy right hon. Friend has received several representations from authorities for this expenditure to be disregarded under section 8(4) of the Local Government Finance Act 1982. He will consider those representations carefully before taking any decisions on implementing grant abatement in 1984–85 and before taking final decisions about grant abatement in 1983–84.
