HC Deb 06 February 1990 vol 166 cc556-63W
Ms. Ruddock

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list in the Official Report for each highway authority in England(a) their bid for annual capital guidelines and transport supplementary grant for 1990–91, (b) the allocation announced in each case, (c) the allocation as a percentage of bid in each case and (d) the percentage of each authority's transport supplementary grant allocation attributable to minor works.

Mr. Atkins

"Capital allocations" under the present local government finance system are not equivalent to "annual capital guidelines" (ACGs) under the new one for 1990–91 onwards. For example, capital allocations included transport supplementary grant (TSG) but ACGs do not. Furthermore, local authorities are also given "supplementary credit approvals" (SCAs) in addition to ACGs to help them finance capital expenditure not met by TSG.

Table 1 shows each local highway authority's bid for capital expenditure on roads and parking, the sum of its TSG, ACG and SCA allocations, and the percentage that the total allocations are of the bids.

Table 2 shows authorities' bids and allocations for accepted expenditure, the percentage that allocations are of bids, and the percentage of accepted expenditure that is for minor works.

Notes

  1. 1. Column 2 does not take into account any adjustments arising from underspends on accepted expenditure in previous years.
  2. 2. Transport Supplementary Grant is paid at the rate of 50 per cent. of net accepted expenditure (ie after adjustment).
    3. 562 563
  3. 3. For London, accepted expenditure for Transport Supplementary Grant includes each Borough's share of expenditure on the London-wide Urban Traffic Control system managed by the City of London on behalf of the Secretary of State which is not included in boroughs' bids but is included in their gross accepted expenditure. This is why for some London authorities their accepted expenditure is greater than their bid.
