§ Mrs. MayTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will list the sums available to the unitary authorities in Berkshire this year and in each of the next two financial years as part of the £140 million available under the Government's strategy for carers. [82018]
§ Mr. HuttonA Special Grant Report (No. 44) giving details of the allocation for 1999–2000 was approved by Parliament on 20 April 1999. Copies are available in the Library. The allocations to individual local authorities of the funding of £50 million for 2000–01 and £70 million for 2001–02 will be determined according to a formula, using the most recent data available at the time the grants are calculated. It is therefore not possible to confirm detailed final allocations for future years at this stage. Allocations for subsequent years will also be subject to Parliamentary approval at the relevant time.
