§ Mr. Peter ShoreTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what have been the sums paid to the London borough of Tower Hamlets under section 11 of the Local Government Act 1966 in each year since 1990; and what is the estimated payment for the years 1993–94, 1994–95 and 1995–96.
§ Mr. Peter LloydThe amount of section 11 grant provision payable direct to Tower Hamlets in respect of each financial year from 1990 is set out in the table:
Financial year £ 1989–90 297,795 1990–91 4,732,150 1991–92 6,486,671 1992–93 8,202,381 The figures for the year 1989–90 relate to grant in service areas other than education. It is not possible to isolate precise figures for the grant payable to the inner London education authority during this period in respect of education provision within Tower Hamlets. The grant figure for 1990–91 includes education provision transferred from ILEA.
The figure for the year 1993–94 is a prediction based on best estimates as supplied by Tower Hamlets. It is not possible to give details of figures for the years 1994–95 and 1995–96 at this stage.
