HL Deb 24 June 1992 vol 538 cc33-4WA Lord Colnbrook  asked Her
Majesty's Government:  What are their decisions on final caps
for the authorities which they have designated for capping.  The
Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of the
Environment (Lord Strathclyde)  My right honourable and learned
friend the Secretary of State for the Environment has laid
before the House a draft order, under Section 104 of the Local
Government Finance Act 1988, setting out his decisions on the
final caps for the eight authorities which have challenged his
proposed caps and put forward higher alternatives. For the two
authorities —Langbaurgh and Middlesbrough—which accepted the
caps originally proposed for them we have confirmed their caps
at the level originally proposed.  For each of the challenging
authorities, we have considered all the available relevant
information, including the case made to us by those authorities
in support of a higher cap, before taking any decisions. For
