HC Deb 24 January 1994 vol 236 c28W
Mr. Pike

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what recent representations he has received regarding the impact on standard spending assessments of(a) the special transitional grant in relation to responsibilities arising from community care policies, (b) the area cost adjustments policy, (c) the interest receipts assumed in comparison to those received and (d) the allowance made in the standard spending assessment in relation to provision of nursery education for the under-fives education.

Mr. Baldry

During the recent period of consultation on the provisional revenue support grant settlement for 1994–95 we received representations on a wide range of issues from 142 local authorities. My right hon. Friend will consider carefully all of these representations and any other relevant information before taking his final decisions on the revenue support grant settlement for 1994–95.
