§ Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will undertake a review of the block grant system.
§ Mr. KingI see no need for a general review of block grant. However, a major advantage of the new system is that its component parts are now susceptible to further examination and development. We shall be considering various propositions with local government in the Consultative Council on Local Government Finance in the course of this year in the normal way.
