§ Mr. Strawasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will update table 1.5 in Cmnd. 8789-I to take account of the decisions announced in his autumn statement.
§ Mr. Peter Rees[pursuant to his reply, 17 November 1983, c. 509]: The detailed information needed to update table 1.5 will not be available for some time. As the hon. Member will appreciate, the autumn statement is primarily concerned with 1984–85. Paragraph 2.27 gives the provision for current expenditure relevant for rate support grant in Great Britain. Paragraph 2.30 gives an approximate figure for local authority capital spending. A full revision of table 1.5 will be published in the next public expenditure White Paper.
