§ Mr. KynochTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will announce the 1995–96 grant-aided expenditure figures each Scottish local authority.
§ Mr. LangThe grant-aid expenditure figure in respect of each local authority for 1995–96 is set out in the table. Each authority's allocation of the GAE total has been determined having regard to the client group methodology which is agreed with the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities in the distribution committee of the working party on local government finance. The table excludes figures for urban programme GAE which is not allocated to individual authorities. The addition of this amount—£63.4 million—brings the GAE total to the previously announced sum of £5,318.2 million.
