§ Mr. Robert BanksTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will set out the list of local authorities which have debts which are not taken account of in their standard spending assessment, with the amount of those debts individually.
§ Mr. KeyThe capital financing element of standard spending assessments is based on an assessment of interest charges flowing from a notional debt figure. There are a number of reasons why notional debt may differ from actual debt. No records are kept of individual items of excluded capital expenditure.
