HL Deb 03 July 1995 vol 565 c69WA
Lord Jenkin of Roding

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will list in the Official Report in tabular form, the figures for each of the years 1993–94, 1994–95, 1995–96, for area cost adjustment taken into account in the calculation of grants for the Courts Service in London (the Crown Courts and County Courts), the Probation Service in London, the Legal Aid Board in London, the magistrates' courts in Inner London and the magistrates' courts in Outer London.

The Lord Chancellor (Lord Mackay of Clashfern)

The method of allocating resources to the Inner London Magistrates' Courts Service, the Legal Aid Board in London and London area probation services does not involve the use of area cost adjustments. The method of allocating resources in the Court Service is not based on grants. The area cost adjustment factor for the Outer London Magistrates' Courts Committees in 1993–94 was 1.10881 and in 1994–95 it was 1.112385. In 1995–96 the revenue grant allocation formula does not use area cost adjustments.
