Letter of correction from Shawn Woodward:
An error has been identified in the answer given to the hon. Member for Putney (Justine Greening) on 25 November 2008.
The answer included a table which displayed figures for payments made to staff who left under early retirement. The answer gave the overall number of staff leaving service as 40. The correct figure should have been 12 as the table showed the number of payments made to staff, in the years requested, as opposed to the number of staff leaving per year. The table therefore gave a cumulative figure, including the payments made to staff in the years requested, who had left service prior to 2005-06.
The correct table should have been:
| Up to £25,000 | £25,001 to £50,000 | £50,001 to £75,000 | £75,001 to £100,000 | Over £100,000 | Total | |
| (1) Three staff left, however, no payments were made to one of the staff until the next financial year | ||||||

Chris Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what local authority revenue was provided from (a) central Government, (b) council tax revenues and (c) special grants for each region in each of the last 12 years, ranked in descending order according to the size of increase.
