HC Deb 02 December 1974 vol 882 cc388-9W
Dr. Edmund Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment how the decisions which he announced on 26th November in respect of the rate support grant for 1975–76 and the increase in the grant for 1974–75 will affect local authorities in the Yorkshire and Humberside Region in particular.

Mr. John Silkin

My right hon. Friend's decisions on rate support grant will be of considerable benefit to local authorities in the Yorkshire and Humber-side Region, as well as to all other local authorities in England and Wales. Details of amounts payable to individual authorities have not yet been calculated. Resources element payments for 1975–76 will depend on decisions made by local authorities.
