§ Mr. Marlowasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will make payment of taxpayers' money to local authorities, including rate support grant, dependent on local authorities neither operating closed shops themselves nor requiring contractors or subcontractors working on their behalf to operate closed shops.
§ Mr. KingI have no powers to make the calculation and distribution of the rate support grant to local authorities conditional upon their staff management practices for which statutorily they bear the sole responsibility.
