§ Mr. Hendersonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will estimate the amount of rate support grant to be paid to Kirkcaldy district council in the current financial year and the amount of grant that would be payable in the year 1980–81 assuming that the district council fixed a rate of 10, 12, 14 or 16p.
§ Mr. YoungerIt would be premature for me to estimate grant payable to an individual authority for 1980–81 before all authorities have fixed their rate poundages.
