asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what was the total amount of rate support grant between 1964–68 and between 1960–64.

The rate support grants which came into operation in 1967–68 replaced the former general grants, rate-deficiency grants, grants for school milk and meals and certain highways grants. The total amount of rate support grants and corresponding grants for the years 1964–65 to 1967–68 inclusive was £4,309 million. The corresponding total for the years 1960–61 to 1963–64 was £2,793 million.
