HC Deb 18 February 1971 vol 811 cc566-7W
Mr. Ronald Brown

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what estimate he has made of the amount of money the London Borough of Islington and the London Borough of Hackney would receive if the domestic element in the rate support grant had been 5d. instead of 2½d.

Mr. Graham Page

The rate relief to householders has been increased by 2.8d. in 1971–72. If it had been increased by 5d. the domestic element for Islington would have been £702,639 instead of £642,279 and for Hackney £754,025 instead of £689,241.
