Mr. Litherland

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what recent discussions he has had with the leader and representatives of Manchester city council regarding the rate support grant for that city; and what was the outcome.

Mr. Waldegrave

Manchester city council was one of the 26 authorities, including 17 rate-limited authorities, represented at a collective meeting with my right hon. Friend on 4 February. The outcome of those discussions was recorded in the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Liverpool, Riverside (Mr. Parry) on 6 February at column621.
