HC Deb 25 June 1984 vol 62 c334W
15. Mr. Terlezki

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what was the total expenditure on personal social services in Wales in the last available year; and how this compares with 1978–79 after pay and price factors am taken into account.

Mr. Wyn Roberts

Local authorities have estimated that revenue spending on the personal social services in Wales in 1983–84 was £121.4 million. After making allowance for inflation this would represent growth of about 10.5 per cent. over the level in 1978–79.
