HC Deb 28 May 1976 vol 912 c437W
Mr. Anderson

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what is his provisional estimate of the "overspending" by Welsh local authorities in 1975–76.

Mr. John Morris

Revised estimates of local authority expenditure in England and Wales for 1975–76 are some 1 per cent. to 2 per cent. higher than previously estimated. A separate estimate for Wales is not available.
