HC Deb 15 February 1991 vol 185 cc638-9W
Mr. Barry Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will set out the calculations underlying increasing Alyn and Deeside district council's revenue support grant for 1991–92 by £13,000; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. David Hunt

Alyn and Deeside's entitlement to revenue support grant is based on the formula ([S — N — (P × C)]) which is set out in section C of the Welsh Revenue Support Grant Distribution Report (No. 2) approved by the House on 29 January.

The relevant values attributable to Alyn and Deeside for 1991–92 under the formula are:

S (£000) 7,960
N (£000) 2,243
P × C (£000) 2,109
P 56,125
C 37.57

Revenue support grant is a component of overall aggregate external finance. Alyn and Deeside's aggregate external finance for 1991–92 is £5,851,619, an increase of 8.4 per cent. on 1990–91.
