HC Deb 04 December 1996 vol 286 cc642-3W
Mr. Congdon

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list for each year from 1978–79 in (i) cash and (ii) real terms(a) the amount raised by (1) tax on domestic ratepayers and (2) tax on non-domestic ratepayers and (b) the amount of rate support grant or its equivalent. [7092]

Sir Paul Beresford

The requested information is available from 1981–82. Amounts raised from domestic householders are gross of rebate or benefit—as detailed in note 1—and the grants supporting these expenditures are excluded from the grants columns. The grants columns include all grants supporting revenue expenditure, as detailed in note 3.

The figures for 1997–98 are based on the provisional settlement, assuming that council tax is set at the council tax for standard spending. Local authorities' budgeted expenditure and council taxes will not be known until they have set their budgets.
