§ Mr. McMasterTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing what the value of housing support grant to Renfrew district council would have been in each year since 1981, using the formulae applied in 1980–81 as a calculation index and uprating for 587W inflation; what was actually paid to each local authority in each year of the same period; and if he will make a statement.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe housing support grant entitlement of any individual local authority is the product of a complex series of calculations to determine the difference between estimated aggregate eligible expenditure and estimated aggregate relevant income for all appropriate local authorities and its apportionment among authorities on the basis of distribution formulae agreed with the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities.
A re-calculation of the housing support grant entitlements of Renfrew district council since 1981 on the basis of the formulae which applied to the 1980–81 grant settlement could be carried out only at disproportionate cost.
The actual grant entitlements of individual local authorities since 1980–81 are shown in the table. Over the period, it has been the Government's policy to move away from indiscriminate housing subsidies, such as housing support grant, in favour of targeting assistance on tenants in greatest need through the housing benefit system.
