§ Mr. RosindellTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what funds will be transferred from the Treasury to the(a) Scottish Parliament, (b) Welsh Assembly and (c) Greater London Assembly in the next financial year. [91327]
§ Mr. BoatengFigures for the grants paid to the Scottish consolidated fund and the NAW in 2003–04 will be published in the 2003–04 main supply estimates for the Scotland Office and the Wales Office in due course.
The 2003–04 figure for GLA funding is not yet available. GLA funding comes from a range of sources and is not a single grant as in the case of Scotland and Wales. A large percentage of GLA funding comes from the local government revenue support grant, and the police grant. The Home Secretary and the Minister for Local Government announced a consultation on proposals for these amounts to the House on the 5 December. Further funding to the GLA comes through the GLA transport grant.
