HC Deb 14 July 1976 vol 915 c192W
29. Mr. MacGregor

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will now indicate how he intends to apportion between local authorities any short-fall in rate support grant next year as a result of some local authorities overspending in 1975–76 and 1976–77.

Mr. Shore

It is too early to say what action will be needed until the revised returns from the local authorities have been received and analysed.
