HC Deb 20 December 1982 vol 34 c332W
13. Mr. Hudson Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the cost to Mid-Glamorgan county council of the snow emergency in the 1981–82 winter; how much of this cost was contributed by central Government; and what proportion this was of the final cost.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

Provisional figures from Mid-Glamorgan county council show additional expenditure of nearly £1,730,000. Subject to satisfaction on eligibility, and to final audit, grant under the Government's special financial assistance scheme should amount to over £580,000. The balance of the £1,730,000 will attract rate support grant of over £823,000. The proportion of the final cost met by central Government is therefore likely to be about 81 per cent.
