HC Deb 23 October 1986 vol 102 cc934-5W
Dr. Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will publish for each authority selected for rate limitation in 1986–87 the percentage increase or decrease in its 1986–87 budgeted total expenditure compared with its original 1985–86 budget.

Mr. Ridley

The information is as follows:

Per cent.
Basildon +24.1
Camden1 +25.2
Greenwich1 +63.9
Hackney1 +40.5
Haringey1 +22.9
Islington1 +23.8
Lambeth1 +34.8
Lewisham1 +39.5
Liverpool1 +12.7
Newcastle1 +21.3
Southwark1 +25.6
Thamesdown +4.6
1 Figures for these authorities for 1985–86 and 1986–87 are not directly comparable, because of the effects of costs included in 1986–87 budgets in respect of services inherited on abolition of the Greater London council or the metropolitan county councils.
