HC Deb 18 December 1985 vol 89 cc219-20W
Mr. Michael Forsyth

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment which authorities selected for rate limitation in 1986–87 have applied for a redetermination of their expenditure level under section 3 of the Rates Act 1984; and what decisions he has reached on those applications.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

I received applications for a redetermination of the expenditure level from seven authorities. I have considered all the applications carefully, together with any other information I thought relevant, and in each case I have revised the expenditure level upwards as follows:

Original EL £ million Redetermined EL £ million
Camden 133,669 136,919
Greenwich 88,629 95,228
Hackney 119,422 128,572
Lambeth 144,068 152,309
Lewisham 112,062 115,594
Liverpool 265,070 274,550
Newcastle-upon-Tyne 151,252 154,652
