§ Mr. Kilroy-Silk
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what was the percentage increase in the rate support grant for 1976–77 over corresponding payment for 1975–76 for councils in Scotland.

§ Mr. William Ross
The total of the rate support grants prescribed for 1976–77 in the Rate Support Grant (Scotland) (No. 2) Order 1975 is £822.7 million. This is some 21 per cent. more than the revised total—£676.27 million—prescribed in the same order for the financial year 16th May 1975 to 31st March 1976.
