HC Deb 18 June 1980 vol 986 c536W
Mr. Steen

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will set out the individual allocations for the years 1978—79 and 1979–80 for home insulation in the following cities : (a) Liverpool, (b) Birmingham, (c) Sheffield, (d) Newcastle and (e) Leeds.

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

The individual allocations (at 1979 survey prices) were as follows :

estimate of the total cost to Manchester city council in the current year of the various reports of the Clegg commission; and if any account will be taken of this in the moneys to be made available to the council by Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. King

This is a matter for Manchester city council. The net cost will depend in part on its success in reducing its manpower levels. A realistic allowance for the effects of outstanding comparability awards was included within the cash limit for rate support grant for 1980–81.
