Local Government Finance
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what plans he has to review the criteria for the local government funding settlement to ensure that it includes (a) up to date information on population growth and (b) levels of deprivation in each local authority area.
- Answer
-
Through the Fair Funding Review we are working closely with the Local Government Association and representatives from across local government to ensure that we consider all the issues that impact on authorities’ relative need to spend on services and their capacity to fund these from local resources.
Amongst the issues we will consider are the impact of population growth, deprivation, and specific geographical factors such as rurality and area-related costs.
