HC Deb 20 March 1981 vol 1 cc203-4W
Mr. Allan Roberts

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish a list of local authorities in England showing for each at November 1979 prices his estimate of its 1978–79 outturn current expenditure, its target for current expenditure in 1980–81 as notified to it by his Department, its revised budget for current expenditure in 1980–81 as notified to him, and its target for current expenditure in 1981–82 as notified by his Department in its letter of 23 January 1981 and at November 1980, and estimated outturn 1981–82 prices, its target for current expenditure in 1981–82 as notified to it by his Department or as estimated by him on the basis of the Government's cash limits.

Mr. King

I have today placed in the Library of the House copies of all the information requested except as regards the last item, since Government cash limits are calculated by reference to total expenditure for the purposes of rate support grant, and not current expenditure only.
