HC Deb 12 March 1992 vol 205 cc586-7W
Mr. Shore

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the estimated level of payments under section 11 of the Local Government Act 1966 to the London borough of Tower Hamlets and previously to ILEA in the current year and in each year since 1966.

Mrs. Rumbold

The amount of section 11 grant provision payable direct to Tower Hamlets in respect of each financial year from 1967–68 to 1990–91 is as follows.

The figures for each year up to 1989–90 relate to grant in service areas other than education. It is not possible to isolate precise figures for the grant payable to ILEA during this period in respect of education provision within Tower Hamlets. The figure for 1990–91 includes education provision transferred from ILEA. The figure for 1991–92 is not yet available.
