My Lords, with the leave of the House, at a convenient moment after 3.30 p.m., my noble friend Lord Bellwin will repeat a Statement being made in another place on rate support grant.

My right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Wales is also making a Statement in another place on housing and rate support grant in Wales. It has been agreed through the usual channels that this Statement will not be repeated here, but, with the leave of the House, I shall arrange for the Statement to be circulated in the Official Report.
