§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when details of the amount of resources grant given under Section 2 of the Local Government Act, 1966, to each local authority will be published.
§ Mr. MacCollDetails of the first estimates of the resources element of rate support grants for 1967–68, together with estimates of the other elements of those 43W grants, were sent to local authorities on 6th January, 1967.
§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will give an assurance that the level of support given by his Department to the county a Cardigan will in the years 1967 and 1968 not be less than the amount in the current year.
§ Mr. MacCollThe first estimates of rate support grants for 1967–68, which have been made and notified to local authorities, are necessarily based on estimates of expenditure and other data for 1966–67. The level of support to particular authorities from these and from specific grants cannot emerge until the expenditure and other data for 1967–68 are known, but I have no reason to believe that for the county of Cardigan it will prove to be less than that for the current year.
