HC Deb 12 February 1991 vol 185 cc424-5W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment by how much the standard spending assessment for 1991–92 of London boroughs and the City of London has been reduced to reflect the fact that they do not provide support for public transport; what that figure is per adult; and if he will give the equivalent figures for 1990–91.

Mr. Key

The total 1991–92 standard spending assessment for London boroughs and the City has been reduced by about £160 million, equivalent to £31.40p per adult, to reflect the fact that they do not provide support for public transport. The equivalent figures for 1990–91 are £121 million and £24.01p per adult.
