HC Deb 05 May 1983 vol 42 cc144-5W
Mr. Dobson

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what has been the amount paid in constant prices to each London borough, the Inner London Education Authority, and the Greater London council, and the total for all these authorities, in rate support grant in each year since 1974–75; and what is the estimated payment for each in 1983.

Mr. Giles Shaw

The figures, excluding payments and receipts under the various London rate equalisation schemes, are given in the following table. Changes in the way grant has been paid prevent direct comparison of grant entitlements over the period. For example, before 1981–82, GLC and ILEA did not receive rate support grant. I draw the hon. Member's particular attention to the explanatory notes.

Notes:

  1. (a) Includes needs, resources and domestic elements revalued to 1981–82 outturn prices. Figures are final entitlements except for 1980–81 where payments made up to September 1982 have been included;
  2. (b) includes block grant, after holdback and domestic rate relief grant. Figures for boroughs include payments in respect of the GLC and Metropolitan Police. Figures are in cash terms;
  3. (c) includes block grant, after holdback and domestic rate relief grant. Figures for boroughs include payments in respect of the Metropolitan Police. Figures are in cash terms.
  4. (d) includes block grant based on budgets before holdback and is in cash terms.
