Standard Spending Assessments (Hansard, 10 February 1992)

HC Deb 10 February 1992 vol 203 c339W 339W

§ Mr. Cohen
To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what amount was subtracted from the standard spending assessments of London boroughs and the City of London, to reflect the fact that those authorities do not provide support for public transport, in 1991–92 and 1992–93.

§ Mr. Key
The amount subtracted for 1991–92 was £160.037 million. For 1992–93 a different approach has been used which involves separate formulae to reflect the fact that public transport support is provided centrally in London but not in the rest of the country. As a result there is no comparable 1992–93 figure.
