HC Deb 17 December 1986 vol 107 c582W
38. Mr. Corbyn

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what plans he has to examine the social problems of inner urban areas before deciding the 1987–88 rate support grant.

Mr. Chope

Grant-related expenditure assessments reflect the social problems of inner urban areas. My right hon. Friend announced in a consultation paper issued on 3 October changes he proposed to make to those assessments for 1987–88.
