§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) if he will publish in theOfficial Report an analysis for the years 1976 to 1986 by functional category of (a) the income from fees and charges shown as lines GTCQ, footnote 1 of table 7.2, and line CTNC of footnote 6 of table 8.2 and (b) the capital receipts shown as line GTDL, footnote 2 of table 7.3 and line CTCS, footnote 2 of table 8.3 of the United Kingdom National Accounts (1987 edition).
(2) if he will publish in the Official Report an analysis for the years 1977 to 1986 in the same COFOG classification as table 9.4 of United Kingdom National Accounts (1987 edition) of (a) the income from fees and charges and (b) the capital receipts, which have been netted against each line entry.
§ Mr. Major[holding answer 28 July 1988]: The information requested could be compiled only at disproportionate cost.
§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in theOfficial Report an analysis, comparable to table 8.5 (housing operating account), for the years 1976 to 1986 of the derivation of the line entries under subsidies to water supply, passenger transport, and other economic affairs and services, in table 8.2 of the United Kingdom National Accounts (1987 edition).
§ Mr. Major[holding answer 28 July 1988]: It is not possible without disproportionate expense to give the analysis requested in the question. In table 8.2 subsidies comprise payments by local authority rate funds to their own trading services and to public corporations. Some information on payments to their own trading services for individual financial years may be found in the trading 751W services revenue account tables in "Local Government Financial Statistics", published separately for England, Scotland, Wales.
§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in theOfficial Report a functional analysis, using the COFOG classification, for the years 1976 to 1986 of the line entries for (a) gross trading surplus, (b) rent and (c) imputed charge for consumption of non-trading capital, in tables 7.2 and 8.2 of the United Kingdom National Accounts (1987 edition) indicating, where appropriate, the corresponding charges for depreciation.
§ Mr. Major[holding answer 28 July 1988]: The functional analysis using the COFOG classification is produced only for government expenditure, and is not wholly appropriate for revenue items, as requested.
§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in theOfficial Report a detailed analysis for the years 1976 to 1986 of the composition of miscellaneous current transfers in table 7.2 of the United Kingdom National Accounts (1987 edition).

§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in theOfficial Report table 9.4 of the United Kingdom National Accounts (1987 edition), expressed in 1980 prices.
§ Mr. Major[holding answer 28 July 1988]: The available information at constant prices is given in table 9.3. It would be conceptually difficult and involve disproportionate cost to calculate table 9.4 at constant prices.
