HL Deb 23 May 1991 vol 529 cc18-9WA
Lord Sefton of Garston

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What were the total grants paid to Wandsworth and Greenwich Boroughs for 1990/91 in accordance with the Revenue Support Grant Distribution Report of 11th January 1990 under the headings in that report of (i) Education and (ii) Personal Social Services.

The Minister of State, Department of the Environment (Baroness Blatch)

Revenue support grant is not disaggregated into separate amounts for individual services. It is calculated as a single amount for each receiving authority by reference to the authority's Standard Spending Assessment (SSA), determined in accordance with the Revenue Support Grant Distribution Report for the year in question. Each authority's SSA contains a number of elements covering the services which the authority provides.

For Wandsworth and Greenwich, the SSA elements for Education and Personal Social Services in 1990/91 were:

Education Personal Social Services
(£/adult) (£ million) (£/adult) (£ million)
Wandsworth 408 84.149 212 43.829
Greenwich 530 82.257 164 25.451
