Mr. J. Stuart
The following tables show the amounts of the second provisional calculation of the grants for 1953–54 and of the first provisional calculation of those for the current year. Both are subject to revision when further data become available. For this reason, and because the basis of allocating expenditure and calculating grant in the current year is different from that in 1953–54, no valid comparison of the two sets of figures can be made. The figures include, where appropriate, the estimated amounts of the transitional grants payable under Section 6 of the Local Government (Financial Provisions) (Scotland) Act, 1954.
