§ Sir Paul Beresford[pursuant to his reply, 29 January 1996, c. 576]: I regret that certain sub-totals were incorrect on the first page of the table, "1996–97 Standard Spending Assessments, Business Rates, Revenue Support Grant and Special Grant Entitlements", copies of which were placed in the Library and the Vote Office on 29 January. The line "Total England" in the table, and the figures for individual local authorities, are unchanged.
A revised table has now been placed in the Library. Copies are available in the Vote Office.
