§ 67. Mr. Hardyasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what estimate he has of the number of local authorities which will be deemed to have exceeded approved levels of expenditure in 1986–87 and of the number of authorities which appear to be overspending in the current year.
§ Mrs. RumboldNo expenditure guidance figures for individual local authorities have been issued for 1986–87. At the time of the Rate Support Grant Supplementary Report (England) No. 2, published in December 1985, 94 English authorities were budgeting to spend above their expenditure guidance in 1985–86.
