Local Authority Expenditure

HC Deb 14 December 1966 vol 738 cc105-6W

101. Mr. Nott

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of total local authority expenditure on curent and capital account for 1965–66 and 1966–67 on the same basis as that used in national income and expenditure Blue Book 1966, tables 45 and 46.

Mr. Diamond

The figures are given in the table below. They are based on the local authority element in Table 11 of the Financial Statement 1966–67, except that minor adjustments have been made to the provisional out-turn for 1965–66 in the light of later information.
