§ Mr. Frank Fieldasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will detail in (a) cash terms and (b) constant prices the total expenditure of each metropolitan district since 1978–79.
§ Mr. WaldegraveThe table shows total expenditure for block grant purposes in cash terms for 1981–82 to 1983–84. Data on a consistent basis for earlier years are not readily available. The figures may be converted to constant prices by using the GDP deflator (1982–83=100):

§ Mr. Frank Fieldasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the proportion of Government grants gained to total expenditure in (a) cash terms and (b) constant prices by each of the metropolitan districts for each year since 1978–79.
§ Mr. WaldegraveThe table gives RSG as a percentage of total expenditure for block grant purposes for the years 1981–82 to 1983–84. Expenditure data on a consistent basis for earlier years are not readily available. The percentages would remain the same if the data were expressed in constant prices.

§ Mr. Frank Fieldasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will rank in terms of percentage change in (a) cash expenditure and (b) expenditure in constant prices, each of the metropolitan districts for each year since 1978–79.
§ Mr. WaldegraveThe tables give the information for 1981–82 to 1983–84. Expenditure data on a consistent basis for earlier years are not readily available. The figures may be converted to constant price growth by using changes in the GDP deflator of 6.6 per cent. between 1981–82 and 1982–83 and of 5.5 per cent. between 1982–83 and 1983–84.
