HC Deb 03 February 1994 vol 236 cc907-9W
Mr. Donohoe

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement listing in descending order the net changes in the leisure and recreation and sports facilities and swimming pools grant-aided expenditure assessment for 1994–95 for each Scottish local authority; and if he will similarly list the amounts awarded to each Scottish local authority for this element of grant-aided expenditure in 1993–94 and in 1992–93.

Mr. Stewart

The information requested is set out in the table. The treatment of this GAE assessment has been changed for 1994–95 following a decision by the joint Scottish Office—COSLA distribution committee of the working party on local government finance to discontinue the secondary indicator for the assessment. This indicator —the number of unemployment benefit recipients per 1,000 population—was no longer considered to be plausible.
