Mr. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment for what reasons the visitor rights factor was doubled in the other services block distribution in the 1991–92 standard spending assessments.

Mr. Baldry

The decision to double the weight on visitor nights was taken in the light of a large number of representations from local authorities suggesting that the weight of 0.25 of a resident, used in 1990–91, took insufficient account of the costs associated with tourism in such areas as environmental health and street cleaning.
