§ Mr. Tony Banksasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what has been the level of rate support grant in cash terms for the London borough of Newham for each year since 1979.
§ Mr. ChopeThe rate support grant paid to the London borough of Newham in respect of the years 1979–80 to 1986–87 inclusive are as follows in cash terms.
£ million 1979–80 51.5 1980–81 60.3 1981–82 63.3 1982–83 74.0 1983–84 74.8 1984–85 70.7 1985–86 66.2 1986–87 74.1 Notes:
The figures for 1979–80 and 1980–81 are not comparable with those for 1981–82 to 1986–87 because they comprise the needs, resources and domestic elements whereas from 1981–82 onwards the figures comprise block grant and domestic rate relief grant.
The figures for 1981–2 to 1985–86 are not comparable with those for 1986–87 because of the abolition of the GLC on 31 March 1986.
All figures are in cash terms. Those for 1979–80 to 1982–83 are final entitlements. Domestic rate relief grant figures for 1983–84 and 1984–85 are final entitlement; those for 1985–86 and 1986–87 are first estimates. Block Grant figures for 1983–84 and 1984–85 are entitlements after holdback based upon provisional outturn; those for 1985–86 are entitlements after holdback based on budgets; those for 1986–87 are entitlements based on initial budget returns.
