HC Deb 01 March 1966 vol 725 c240W
53. Sir D. Renton

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he will now introduce an amended General Grant Order increasing the general grant in order to relieve ratepayers of the large immediate burdens of rate increase which they have to face.

Mr. Crossman

I have no power to make such an Order, and if I had I would not make use of it.
