§ Mr. O'HaraTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment following the decision to transfer funding for the Fire Service College to local fire brigades, what amount has been added to the RSG in respect of this commitment; where information is available as to the sums allocated to each authority; who may inspect this information; what account was taken of these changes indetermining the standard spending assessments for metropolitan fire and civil defence authorities; and where this information is available.
§ Mr. KeyIn 1990–91 the Fire Service College will receive £7,595,000 as its share of the revenue support grant total for England. In 1991–92 it will receive £5,630,734. Additionally, for 1991–92 the total standard spending assessment for the fire and civil defence block takes account of the new arrangements whereby the college recovers part of its costs through charges. This is reflected in the standard spending assessments of individual authorities. However, grant is distributed on the basis of authorities' total SSAs and it is therefore not possible to say what proportion of their grant entitlements relates to any specific task or function.
