Mr. David Hunt

I have today placed two tables in the Library. One shows the 1990–91 personal social services standard spending assessments for each social services authority in England and for each class of authority; the other shows comparable information on the 1989–90 personal social service, grant-related expenditure assessments. Comparable information on personal social services spending for 1989–90 is not yet available.
