§ Mr. Greville Jannerasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in view of Leicester's having received over 15 per cent. of the Ugandan Asians who came to Great Britain through expulsion by General Amin, lie will make available a like proportion of the additional sum of £1.2 million provided through the rate support grant of 1973–74 to meet the cost of providing services generally to the Ugandan Asians over and above that expenditure which will be reimbursed in whole or in part by the Uganda Resettlement Board.
§ Mr. Graham PageThe distribution of rate support grant is made in accordance with the Local Government Act 1966 and the regulations made under this Act. I have no power to vary it. The 133W influx of population will, however, increase the amounts payable under these provisions.
