HC Deb 13 May 1965 vol 712 c113W
64. Mr. Allason

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what would be the average county district rate for England and Wales, excluding London, for Hertfordshire, and for London, respectively, if the general grant had been increased by £200 million for 1965–66.

Mr. Mellish

It is impossible to say. If the aggregate of the general grant had been increased, a new formula would have had to be worked out for distributing the money and there is therefore no knowing what any individual local authority would have received.
