HC Deb 04 May 1970 vol 801 c55W
Mr. Alan Lee Williams

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what was the estimated rate support grant paid for the London Borough of Havering for each year 1960 to 1964, and the last four years for which figures are available.

Mr. Denis Howell:

The latest estimates of the rate support grants for the London Borough of Havering for the years 1967–68 to 1970–71 and of the corresponding grants for 1965–66 and 1966–67 are as follows:

1965–66 £4,717,477
1966–67 £5,056,977
1967–68 £5,616,720
1968–69 £6,100,002
1969–70 £7,076,443
1970–71 £7,725,527

Comparable figures for earlier years for the area now comprising the London Borough of Havering are not available. A substantial part of the total grant was payable to the Essex County Council at that time.
