Ms. Harman

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what is the amount in 1985 prices for each year since 1985 that the London borough of Southwark has been allowed to spend under the rate-capping legislation, disregarding any additional allowance given for the transfer of Greater London council services.

Mr. Chope

The expenditure levels which my right hon. Friend has determined under the Rates Act 1984 for Southwark, expressed in 1985–86 prices are:

£ million
1985–86 108.437
1986–87 without allowance for former GLC service 105.279
1986–87 with allowance for former GLC services 130.281
1987–88 124.671

Figures expressed at 1985–86 prices using the GDP deflator. In 1987–88 no split was made between former borough and former GLC services.
