Local Government Reorganisation (Hansard, 29 June 1998)

§ Mr. Raynsford

I refer the right hon. Member to the replies given on 27 October 1997,Official Report, columns 808–14, 3 November 1997, Official Report, columns 72–73 and 17 December 1997, Official Report, columns 199–200. These replies gave bids and allocations for 1994–95, 1995–96, 1996–97 and 1997–98, revised allocations for 1997–98 made after the mid-year review and initial allocations for 1998–99. Supplementary credit approvals (SCA) and capitalisation directions have not yet been issued for 1997–98 or 1998–99. The capitalisation directions for earlier years have generally equalled the SCA issued unless the authority has sought a lower amount, or a higher amount which has not exceeded the net revenue element of the final audited application for SCA.

The table lists the bids for 1997–98 and 1998–99, and the SCAs for 1994–95 to 1996–97 and allocations for 1997–98 and 1998–99 expressed as a percentage of bid.
