HC Deb 26 January 1981 vol 997 cc329-31W
Mr. Booth

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what were each county's bids submitted for transport supplementary grant in the 1981–82 settlement at November 1979 prices in each of the following categories of expenditure: public transport revenue support, highway maintenance and other current expenditure, capital and the total.

Mr. Fowler

I refer the right hon. Member to the reply I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Warwick and Leamington (Mr. Smith) on 1 December.

Mr. Booth

asked the Secretary of State for Transport what were the levels of accepted expenditure, at November 1979 prices, for each county for public transport revenue support, highway maintenance and other current expenditure, capital and total in the transport supplementary grant settlements from 1980–81 and 1981–82.

Mr. Fowler

The figures are attached. It is important to note that £15 million expenditure on new maintenance vehicles and machinery was included under maintenance for the purposes of the 1980–81 settlement, but under capital for the 1981–82 settlement. An additional £30 million of capital expenditure by Tyne and Wear county council in the metro in 1980–81, financed outside the TSG system, is not included in table 1.
