Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the level of urban aid and rate support grant paid to each local authority within the county of Cumbria and the Cumbria county council; and how it compares in real terms with each preceding year since 1979.
Mr. WaldegraveThe figures are set out in the following tables. The rate support grant figures for 1978–79, 1979–80 and 1980–81 are final entitlements revalued to 1981–82 prices. The rate support grant arrangements changed in 1979–80 and in 1981–82. The figures are not therefore comparable over a run of years. The 1978–79 figures for the districts include resources and domestic elements while the county received only the needs element. In 1979–80 the districts first received a share of needs element, and the entitlement of the county was therefore reduced. In 1981–82 under the block grant system, grant compensating for differences in both resources and needs was paid to each tier of authority, increasing the grant to the county and reducing the entitlements of the districts commensurately. The figures for 1981–82 onwards are of payments made to date and include block grant, after holdback, and domestic relief grant. They are in cash terms.
The urban programme figures show new traditional urban programme approvals from 1979–80 to 1983–84. The figures do not take account of continuing commitments in connection with projects from earlier years. They are given in cash terms.
