HC Deb 22 May 1995 vol 260 cc410-1W
Mr. Hinchliffe

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list those authorities which have not yet submitted audited returns of expenditure of the 1993–94 special transitional grant. [25322]

Mr. Bowis

Local authorities are required to submit returns to district auditors who, in turn, submit them to the Department. We could not therefore know whether returns that have not yet been submitted to the Department have or have not been submitted by local authorities to their respective district auditors.
