HC Deb 25 July 1990 vol 177 c322W
Mr. Dewar

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to publish the 1988–89 issue of "Scottish Local Government Financial Statistics"; and whether he will include in that document tables showing the reconciliation between the local authority expenditure figures on a local authority accounting basis and local authority expenditure as defined on a public expenditure White Paper basis in Cm 1015 and Cm 1021.

Mr. Rifkind

The 1988–89 issue of "Scottish Local Government Financial Statistics" is expected to be published in early autumn. The format will be similar to previous issues, and it is not intended to include tables reconciling local authority expenditure figures on the two bases.
