§ Mr. Marlowasked the Secretary of State for the Environment how the rate support grant per head of the population in Lambeth compares with that in Manchester and in Northampton.
§ Mr. KingThe estimated final allocations of rate support grant for 1980–81 are as follows:
£/head Lambeth 232 City of Manchester 269 Northampton 51 These sums take account of the payment of all three elements of rate support grant. They are not directly comparable because most of the needs element attributable to the assessed expenditure needs of a non-metropolitan district is paid to the council of the county in which it is located. Lambeth does not qualify for the resources element of RSG.
