HC Deb 16 June 1992 vol 209 cc508-9W
Mr. McMaster

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing the amount of aggregate external finance allocated to(a) the general revenue account and (b) the general services capital programme for each district council expressed in (i) real terms and (ii) on a per capita basis for each financial year since 1987–88; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Allan Stewart

[holding answer 11 June 1992]: Since 1990–91, local authority current expenditure has been supported by aggregate external finance (AEF) which consists of non-domestic rate income (NDRI), revenue support grant (RSG) and specific grants. The NDRI and RSG components are neither hypothecated to particular services nor to loan charges on these services arising from outstanding capital debt. The general services capital programme is not part of AEF.

The total AEF, since its introduction, for each district authority, in (i) real and (ii) per capita terms is given in the table.
