§ Dr. Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what are his Department's current estimates of the total amount by which local government expenditure is expected to exceed in 1985–86 (a) grant-related expenditure assessments and (b) expenditure targets; and if he will supply a breakdown of those figures in each category listed for each individual authority in terms of both total money amount and percentage.
§ Mr. Patrick Jenkin[pursuant to his reply, 21 June 1985, c. 263]: The estimate of English local authorities' budgeted overspend against targets in 1985–86 should have been £226 million (not £266 million). This revised figure is consistent with the overspend against GRE of £820 million. None of the figures for individual authorities placed in the Library is affected by this change.
