§ Mr. Churchillasked the Secretary of State for the Environment by how much his Department's expenditure per capita in the North-West Region exceeds, or is less than, that of the national average per capita in respect of his Department.
§ Mr. ShoreThe latest estimate of per capita expenditure for 1977–78 on the two major elements of the Department's expenditure—rate support grant and housing subsidies—in respect of the North-West Region is £170. This is £13 in excess of the comparable figure for England and Wales as a whole.
