HC Deb 24 January 1990 vol 165 c753W
81. Mr. Illsley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he will arrange an early meeting with representatives of Barnsley metropolitan borough council to discuss its allocation of revenue support grant.

Mr. Chope

The then Minister of State, my right hon. Friend the Member for Suffolk, Coastal (Mr. Gummer) met a delegation from Barnsley metropolitan borough council to discuss revenue support grant (RSG) on 29 June 1989. My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State received no further request from Barnsley for a meeting on RSG, and the House approved the Revenue Support Grant Report (England) 1990–91 and other reports on the settlement on 18 January 1990. But we are, of course, prepared to meet authorities if they so wish.
