Mr. Marks
asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in calculating grant-related expenditure for Tameside metropolitan borough council, he will make allowance for the fact that Tameside received £570,000 arrears of housing subsidy in the base year 1980, which significantly distorted the figures for that year and means reduced block grant for subsequent years.
Mr. King
I shall write to the hon. Member.
