asked the Secretary of State for Wales (1) what are the budgets of each of the district councils in Wales, respectively; and what are their respective administrative costs;(2) what are the budgets of each of the eight county councils of Wales; and what are their respective administrative costs.

This information may be obtained from the published accounts of the authorities concerned. Individual authorities' estimates of budgeted revenue expenditure for 1978–79, however, have been published by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy in "Financial, General and Rating Statistics, 1978–79", a copy of which is in the Library.
