HC Deb 16 January 1986 vol 89 cc618-9W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Wales when he proposes to issue the final settlement figures for the rate support grant for local authorities in Wales for the year 1984–85; and why there has been a delay in this matter.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

There has been no delay. In accordance with the timetable agreed with the Welsh local authority associations, I expect to lay the final supplementary report for 1984–85 in July of this year, after the customary audit of local authorities' accounts has been completed.
