HC Deb 11 December 1968 vol 775 c176W
Mr. Simon Mahon

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what amount of financial assistance the county borough of Bootle is to receive from Government sources under the Rate Support Grant Order, 1968; how this amount is made up; and how it compares in detail with last year's payment and allowances.

Mr. Skeffington

The estimated amounts of rate support grant payable for the county borough of Bootle in respect of the current financial year are as follows:

£
Needs element 2,100,225
Resources element 587,341
Domestic element 51,179
Total 2,738,745
The amounts payable for 1969–70 in pursuance of the Rate Support Grant Order, 1968, which was approved by the House of Commons on Monday, have still to be calculated. It is hoped to complete the calculations and to notify the results to local authorities early in January, together with revised estimates of the grants for 1968–69.
