HC Deb 22 February 1985 vol 73 c624W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what financial information, necessary to determine a precept in respect of the Inner London Education Authority, was not available to his Department at the time of making the rate precept limitation order and had to be replaced by assumptions of his own making.

Mr. Waldegrave

My right hon. Friend has always made it clear that he would have been prepared to discuss the calculation of proposed precept limits in the context of negotiations with the individual authority about a different maximum.
