§ Mr. Christopher Priceasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, pursuant to his reply, Official Report, 7 April 1981, c. 255, he will reprice the volume expenditure targets for local authorities in 1981–82 to 1981–82 outturn prices and make such additions to and subtractions from each authority's grant-related expenditure figure for 1981–82 so as to put both figures on to a broadly consistent basis, and publish the results for each local authority in England.
§ Mr. King[pursuant to his reply, 14 April 1981, c. 132]: It is precisely because these entirely different sets of figures cannot be put on a "broadly consistent basis" that a meaningful comparison cannot be made.
