HC Deb 18 March 2003 vol 401 cc744-8W
Mr. Andrew Turner

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will list the Ring-Fenced grants available to local authorities in each year since 1997. [96909]

Mr. Raynsford

The information is as follows:

List of Ring-Fenced and Special Grants available in each Financial year

The definition of ring-fencing used was updated last year to reflect the types of grant we now have. Some grants previously classified as ring-fenced are no longer classified in this way. The key distinction we make is that ring-fenced grants restrict local authority spending. For completeness the following list includes all special grants inside Aggregate External Finance. Those marked with an asterisk are not ring-fenced. Further details of classifications are in an annex to the freedoms and flexibilities announcement of 26 November.
