HC Deb 19 July 1966 vol 732 c43W
61. Mr. Robert Cooke

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will take into account the costs of protecting the interests and corporate property of a city and county in calculating the annual Exchequer contribution to that city and county.

Mr. Crossman

No. I do not think that the Exchequer should underwrite this sort of expenditure.
