prices the actual rate support grant aid paid in 1978–79, (c) the absolute difference between the two figures and (d) the percentage difference between the two figures for each authority.

Mr. Ancram

The figures show for each local authority the needs element of rate support grant proposed for 1987–88, the needs element paid in 1978–79 at 1986 prices, the absolute difference between the two figures and the percentage difference between the two figures for each authority. The GDP deflator is used to convert the figures for 1978–79 from cash to constant prices. The figures for 1987–88 are proposals which have still to be discussed with the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities. Local authorities will also receive resource element to compensate for differences in rateable resources and domestic element to provide domestic rate relief.
