HC Deb 29 January 1948 vol 446 cc190-5W
134. Mr. Turton

asked the Minister of Health whether he has now revised his estimates of the proposed Exchequer Equalisation Grants and Exchequer Transitional Grants to counties and county boroughs as detailed in Table 11 of Command Paper 7253; and whether he will publish the revisions in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Mr. Bevan

Estimates have been made of the proposed Exchequer Equalisation Grants and Exchequer Transitional Grants payable to counties and county boroughs for 1948–49. The calculations are based on figures for the current year adjusted to reflect the proposed transfer of hospitals and out-relief on 5th July, 1948, the proposals in Part V of the Local Government Bill for the rating of transport and electricity undertakings and a number of other proposed changes affecting 1948–49. The figure will be circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
