§ Mr. Roebuckasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what funds have been paid from the Exchequer to Harrow Council in each of the last two convenient years to make up the loss to the rate fund sustained through rate relief being granted to Harrow School and other schools which are charities.
§ Mr. SkeffingtonIn reply to the hon. Member on Tuesday, I said that the resources element in rate support grant made up from central funds losses of rates as a result of relief for charities. This is the case for local authorities who, because their rate resources are below the national average, receive the resources element. Harrow, however, has resources above the national average and therefore receives no resources element of grant.—[Vol. 775, c. 1143.]
