49. Mr. Corbyn

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will revise the weighting given to the personal social services indicator in the drawing up of his Department's grant related expenditure assessment for local authorities.

Mr. Waldegrave

My right hon. Friend announced last week a number of changes to the formula for assessing grant related expenditure for personal social services in 1984–85. We remain ready to consider proposals for further changes in the formula.
