asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will break down the money to be returned to London boroughs by the London residuary body detailing the sum to be paid to each borough; and if he will make a statement.

Firm figures will not be available until the GLC's final accounts have been audited and certified. However, the tables show the latest estimates which we have from the London residuary body of revenue balances, capital receipts and associated spending power which willl be distributed to London boroughs, the common council and the Temples.Of the estimated £129 million revenue balances available for distribution, £89 million is being paid out in this financial year in monthly instalments. The remaining £40 million is to be distributed in 1987–88. LRB estimate that a further £40 million may be available in 1988–89. It is, however, too early to say whether this amount will be distributed, as it may be required to finance other expenditure.
