Sir Hector Monro
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will introduce a new rate support grant order giving greater financial resources to the rural areas for 1983–84.
Mr. Younger
In framing proposals for the distribution grant in 1983–84 I shall take into account the views of the Convention of Scottish Local authorities. My proposals will be incorporated in an order which will be laid before this House in due course.
