To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what the average variation is from SSA for London local authority social services budgets(a) in cash and (b) as a percentage for (i) each borough and (ii) London as a whole in each of the last five years. [69146]

Jacqui Smith

I have been asked to reply.

The tables compare personal social services standard spending assessment (SSA) with local authority social services budgets, which have been adjusted to make them comparable with SSA. The figures provided are for each local authority and for London as a whole, for each of the last five years.
