HC Deb 10 February 1988 vol 127 c241W
Mr. Adley

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will detail the changes in the investment criteria

1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984–85 1985–86 1986–87 1987–88
Exchequer 118 114.2 147.5 195.6 216.2 312.5 339.2 317 111 101.4 82.1
Ratepayers 212 193.6 156.9

I have no information about the amount of grant requested prior to 1985–86, but since then the total grant has been in excess of need and surpluses have been carried forward each year.
