Sir K. Joseph
Information in the precise form sought by the hon. Member is not yet available, as applications have been coded by existing local authority areas and grants by local authority areas as they will be after 1st April 1974. The Rowntree Trust intends to reconcile the two different methods of compiling the statistics and I shall let the hon. Member have the revised table in due course. The figures at present available are given below. The number of grants made has, however, recently risen sharply and approximately matches the number of applications currently being received.
