HC Deb 18 July 1974 vol 877 cc253-4W
Mr. Michael Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether the distribution of the transport supple- mentary grant will go to those local authorities who already have above average levels of committed expenditure.

Mr. Mulley

The distribution will depend partly on the definition of the threshold formula which is being considered in consultation with the local authority associations. I am aware of the needs of counties with high levels of committed expenditure.
