HC Deb 08 February 1994 vol 237 cc149-50W
Mr. Robert Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the amount of money allocated from Government funds in the last financial year for each department of North Yorkshire county council; and what comparable amounts will be provided in the next financial year.

Mr. Baldry

Central Government support—that is, revenue support grant and redistributed business rate income—is given in support of the provision of local services as a whole. It is not hypothecated to particular service departments. For 1993–94 central Government support to North Yorkshire county council is £283.4 million, of which revenue support grant is £135.3 million. For 1994–95 the corresponding figures are £290.5 million and £154.2 million respectively.
