§ 27. Mr. MichaelTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what assessment he has made of the impact of his local government settlement on the level of youth service provision in Wales.
§ Sir Wyn RobertsThe provisional local government revenue settlement for 1994–95 provides for local government spending of £2,704.8 million, an increase of 4.2 per cent. over 1993–94. The settlement is realistic in the present economic climate.
Local authorities are responsible for determining their priorities for expenditure in the light of available resources and local needs, including the youth service.
