HC Deb 03 November 1997 vol 300 cc64-5W
Mr. Watts

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will review the county services block SSA; and if he will include in it an economic index element. [14197]

Mr. Raynsford

This has been discussed with the Local Government Association this year. We expect to announce our proposals for SSAs for 1998–99 at about the beginning of December.
