asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish in a table, otherwise identical to table 3.15.2 of Cmnd. 9428-II, but expressed in (a) cost terms and (b) volume terms.
Since public expenditure is now planned in cash, volume figures are no longer relevant and the information needed to construct them is no longer collected comprehensively. The information requested in cost terms is set out in the following table. For information on volume terms movements in local authority current expenditure as a whole, I refer the hon. Gentleman to the reply of today's date to his question by my hon. Friend the Minister for Home Affairs and the Environment.
