§ Mr. Hoosonasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what is the amount per head in ratio to the population paid by the central Government to Wales by way of rate deficiency grant for local government; and what the equivalent sum per head is in England.
§ Mr. MacCollThe first estimate for 1967–68 of the resources element of rate support grant, which has now replaced rate deficiency grant, amounts to £10.14 per head for Wales and £3.89 per head for England. These ratios are based on the mid-1966 population figures.
