§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how much rate support grant was received by Cardiganshire County Council, Carmarthenshire County Council and Pembrokeshire County Council in 1973–74; and what is the amount that will be received in 1974–75 under the terms of the White Paper on the rate support grant.
§ Mr. Graham PageThe total amounts of rate support grants for 1973–74 payable under the Rate Support Grant (Increase) (No. 2) Order are:
