1. Rate support grant data cover the period since the introduction of Block Grant. Data relate to Kirklees metropolitan district council only and are latest estimates, after holdback where relevant. Care should be taken in comparing 1986–87 with earlier years because of the abolition of West Yorkshire metropolitan county council.
2. Figures for Derelict Land Grant relate to actual expenditure. 1985–86 data are provisional, and figures prior to 1977–78 are not readily available.
3. Urban Programme figures represent annual approvals for expenditure given to Kirklees metropolitan district council.
4. Local Employment Act/Industrial Development Act figures relate to grant payments, which were made only in the years shown. Only a small part of the district is currently eligible.
5. 1985–86 and 1986–87 figures for Home Insulation Scheme Grant, Slum Clearance Subsidy and Improvement Contributions are estimates and will be subject to adjustment when final audit claims are received. Data on Home Insulation Scheme Grant are given from the start of the scheme. Information on Housing Corporation Grant approvals for years prior to 1981–82 is not readily available.
