Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

PARLIAMENTARY Secretary for Transport Kenneth Clarke has said that although the Government hopes that local authorities will "restrain their transport spending," it is not its intention to use the Transport Supplementary Grant awarded local authorities, as Labour Ministers did, to "seek to control the detail of individual counties' transport policies."

Mr Clarke said that the size of the TSG's awarded by the Government will reflect the pressing need to hold down public expenditure, but the amount of money given will not be used to try and influence the counties' ideas. He reported that Transport Minister Norman Fowler will be making a statement on the size of the TSGs in the House of Commons "in due course."
