    • GLC—0.755931
    • ILEA—0.703757
    • Metropolitan Police—0.775031
  2. (b) The multipliers for those non metropolitan counties part of whose area lies within the Metropolitan Police District.
    • Essex—0.996794
    • Hertfordshire—0.991027
    • Surrey—0.981416
  3. (c) The multipliers to limit grant losses. These are shown for individual authorities in the table following.
