Mr. Parris

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment (1) if he will publish the total expenditure, as defined in section 56(8) of the Local Government, Planning and Land Act 1980, of every local authority in England for 1981–82, as reported to his Department for purposes of rate support grant distribution; and where any local authority has failed to make such a return, if he will publish the total expenditure figure assumed for rate support grant distribution purposes;

(2) if he will publish for every local authority in England, where available (a) its original block grant claim, calculated according to the rate support grant (England) 1980, (b) the level of block grant for each local authority assumed at the time of the initial payment for the 1981–82 financial year and (c) the close-ending factor applied to the original claim by each local authority to make the total claims on block grant fit the total of grant available.
