§ Mr. Grimondasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the cash limits for local authorities will be in the form of block grant limits with discretion to vary expenditure on different heads.
§ Mr. William RossA cash limit will apply to the total of rate support grant for 1976–77. It is clearly desirable that local authorities should apply cash limits to their own expenditure, but they will have their usual discretion as to method.
