HC Deb 19 July 2004 vol 424 cc7-8W
Mr. Rosindell

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what the total amount paid in allowances to councillors was in each of the London boroughs in 2003–04. [184281]

Mr. Raynsford

The information requested is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. The setting of local allowance levels is a matter for each local authority, taking into account its local circumstances and the views of its independent remuneration panel.
