HC Deb 27 October 1987 vol 121 cc205-6W
Sir Peter Hordern

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what are his proposals for the rate support grant settlement for 1988–89.

Mr. Ridley

I am today issuing a consultation paper to the local authority associations and local authorities setting out my detailed proposals for the 1988–89 rate support grant settlement. The associations and individual local authorities have been asked for their written comments and representations on these proposals by 17 November.

Copies of the consultation paper have been placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
