"To reach the coda will be welcome. I thought I addressed that point when I said that, as we finalise the architecture, a number of big issues—the biggest being eligibility, of course—need to be resolved. No decision on that has been taken and finalised, but as we finalise our proposals, …..."

Written Question
Local Government Finance: Harrow
Monday 15th December 2014

Asked by: Nick Hurd (Conservative - Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how much the London Borough of Harrow receives annually in Government grants; and if he will make a statement.

Answered by Kris Hopkins

In 2014-15 the London Borough of Harrow is forecast to receive £208 million in government grants, excluding mandatory housing benefits, equivalent to £2,364 per dwelling. Including mandatory housing benefits, the forecast is £338 million (source: Revenue Account budget returns). The Greater London Authority also delivers services (police, fire, transport, strategic housing and planning) in Harrow, and is forecast to receive £4.5 billion in government grants in 2014-15, equivalent to £1,311 per dwelling. Taken together, this is equivalent to £3,675 per dwelling in Harrow.

Leaving aside schools spending which has changed due to the funding shift from local authorities to academies, in 2014-15 Harrow’s net current expenditure excluding education is forecast to be £293 million (source: Revenue Account budget returns). This compares with £267 million in 2009-10 (source: Revenue Outturn returns). This represents a 10% increase in cash terms.
