asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will issue a list of planned expenditure for each local authority in England for 1982–83, as provided on block grant claim forms, together with their spending targets, showing in money and percentage terms how much each local authority is planning to overspend or underspend on its target; and if he will indicate those authorities which, though planning to overspend on their spending targets, will not be subject to penalty because they are below their grant-related expenditure allocation.

The information is not yet available in a form suitable for publication but will be released as soon as possible.
