§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsThe degree of access to new and accumulated capital receipts in the local authority sector has been adjusted over the period since 1981–82 principally in order to secure a better match between the level of actual capital spending and the provision for such spending in the Government's plans. The precise rules applicable in each period are set out in the Local Government (Prescribed Expenditure) Regulations and Amendment Regulations laid and approved by the House each year.
§ Mr. Barry Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish the budgeted expenditure increase, current expenditure, in each Welsh local authority in each year from 1981–82 to 1984–85, showing the total increase between 1981–82 and 1984–85.
§ Mr. Nicholas EdwardsThe following table gives details of budgeted current expenditure of Welsh local authorities in each year 1981–82 to 1984–85. Comparisons between years are affected by changes in the national insurance surcharge contribution which was 3.5 per cent. in 1981–82 and 1982–83, 2.5 per cent, in 1983–84 and 1 per cent, in 1984–85. The budgeted figures for the individual years have not been adjusted to allow for these changes but the final column compares the adjusted 1981–82 figures with those for 1984–85.
