HC Deb 16 March 1990 vol 169 c394W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will review Tameside safety net grant for the community charge and the effect of the housing revenue account contributions being used twice.

Mr. Chope

Before making the Revenue Support Grant Report (England) 1990–91 and the other reports associated with the 1990–91 settlement, which were approved by the House on 18 January, my right hon. Friend considered all the representations he had received including those on Tameside's safety net grant and the effect of the housing revenue account contributions. He is satisfied that his decisions on the 1990–91 settlement are fair and reasonable.
