paid to district councils included a share of the amounts that were payable to the county council for the area, and separate amounts
attributable to each district council were not separately identified. Figures for Worcester city council are not therefore available

Mr. Michael Foster: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what percentage increases in local government grant were awarded to Worcester
City Council in each year since 1992-93. [112989]
Mr. Raynsford: There are two funding streams to help support revenue funding by local authorities. These are Revenue Support Grant
(RSG) and redistributed non- domestic rates (NNDR). It is important to look at the total of these funding streams (formula grant) in
order to compare support from central government year-on- year, since the level of non-domestic rates can vary year- on-year.
Since 1997 there have been many changes in local government functions and funding. To enable a like-for- like comparison between
years, we calculate adjusted grants. The percentage change figures have been calculated on the basis of these like-for-like
comparisons.
However, until the introduction of Central Support Protection Grant in 1999-2000, there was no need to calculate grant on a
like-for-like basis. For this reason grant comparisons in the years between 1992-93 and 1998-99 do not make logical sense and are
not available. For information, the unadjusted grant amounts for these years are still shown.
The following table shows the amount of formula grant (which consists of RSG, NNDR and SSA Reduction Grant (where appropriate))
received by Worcester City Council during the period. The table also shows the percentage year-on-year changes in formula grant on a
like-for-like basis where possible.
The large decrease in formula grant between 1992-93 and 1993-94 represents a significant change in the way formula grant was paid.
Up until 1992-93 all formula grant was paid to the billing authority and then paid by the billing authority to other tiers of
authority. In subsequent years each authorities grant has been paid directly and hence billing authorities receive less grant.

Mr. Luff: To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department, if she will make a statement on progress with reviewing
(a) the boundaries of local authorities in England and (b) the boundary between Wychavon and the City of Worcester. [84169]
Mr. Leslie: I have been asked to reply.
No reviews of the boundaries between principal local authorities have taken place recently and we have no plans for such reviews to
take place in the immediate future, except as part of any local government review required before a referendum in a region for an
elected regional assembly. There is therefore no boundary review taking place between the district of Wychavon and the city of
Worcester.
The electoral commission have recently completed electoral reviews of the district of Wychavon and the city of Worcester-these
reviews are of the electoral arrangements within the boundaries of the district and the city.
