HC Deb 06 November 1986 vol 103 c568W
Mr. Milian

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the guidelines for each local authority in Scotland and for Scotland as a whole, for 1987–88; and what were the corresponding guideline figures for 1986–87 and the local authority budgeted figures for 1986–87.

Mr. Rifkind

The information is contained in two Scottish Office circulars, copies of which are held in the House Library. Annex 1 to finance circular 5/1986 shows authorities' guidelines and cash budgets for 1986–87. Appendix 5 to finance circular 6/1986 shows authorities' guidelines for 1987–88; it also shows and explains the adjusted cash budgets for 1986–87 which were a factor in the calculation of those guidelines.
