Mr. Compton Carrasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs how much each rating authority in the Greater London area will receive in Exchequer grant under the provisions of the Rating (Interim Relief) Bill.
§ Sir K. JosephI cannot estimate how much any local authority will receive in total as a result of the Bill, because this will depend in part on the use which they make of their powers to remit rates on grounds of hardship.
The attached table gives preliminary estimates of the amounts which will be payable under Clause 1 of the Bill to rating authorities in the Greater London area. The figures are based on 1961 data and subject to correction in the light of later information.
