Local Authorities, Greater London Area (Revenue from Rates and Grants)

HC Deb 22 June 1965 vol 714 cc179-80W

Mr. Hamling

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what was the total revenue from the rates and Government grants, respectively, of all local authorities in the area of the Greater London Council for the last available year compared with 1951.

Mr. Mellish

On the basis of rate demands for the current year, the approximate figures are:

		£ million
Total revenue from rates	…	296.4
Total revenue from Government grants	…	166.6

No estimate can readily be made of the comparable amounts relating to the finan- cial year 1951–52 for the area now administered by the Greater London Council.
