§ Mr. Ernie Robertsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment why the health partnership finance sent to Hackney by his Department was £150,000 less than the million pounds promised for the year 1985–86; and when the remaining £150,000 is to be sent.
§ Mr. WaldegraveThe partnership allocations issued to both the Hackney local authorities and to the City and Hackney district health authority are the same in cash terms as last year. I am satisfied that no promise to increase the health allocation has ever been given by this Department.
