HC Deb 03 December 1981 vol 14 c201W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make available the funds through rate support grant to Tayside region to ensure that the 83 primary and 40 secondary teachers unemployed in Dundee are employed in Dundee schools.

Mr. Younger

The rate support grant distribution arrangements for 1981–82 have already been approved by Parliament. It is a matter for Tayside regional council how it chooses to use its share of grant which is not hypothecated to individual services.
