§ Mr. Robert B. JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will set out in tabular form the expenditure of Hertfordshire county council in 1978–79 and for the latest available year in(a) cash terms and (b) constant price terms.
§ Mr. KeyThe available information is as follows:
Hertfordshire County Council Expenditure1 Outturn 1980–81 £ million Budget estimate 1991–92 £ million Cash terms 266.8 558.1 Constant price terms (1991–92 prices) 524.2 558.1 1 In 1980–81 expenditure is total expenditure, while in 1991–92 expenditure is net revenue expenditure. These derive from two different systems of local government finance and are therefore not directly comparable. Comparable information is not available for earlier years on an individual authority basis.
