tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL6263
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2016 answer text <p>The local government finance settlement distributed revenue support grant by looking at the main resources that are available to local councils. The Local Government Finance Report (England) 2016/2017 sets out the basis of this distribution and the results can be found (attached) on the government website at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/final-local-government-finance-settlement-england-2016-to-2017" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/final-local-government-finance-settlement-england-2016-to-2017</a>.</p><p>Transition Grant is for places that did not benefit from these changes in the formula. I refer the noble Lord to the debate on the Local Government Finance (England) on 10 February 2016, <em>Official Report, Columns 1643 and 1645</em> (attached). The fund will be applied in direct proportion to the difference in the revenue support grant that would have been experienced and so it will ease the change from a system based on central Government grant to one in which local sources determine a council’s revenue.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford attachment 1 file name 160224 HL6263 Hansard column 1643 and 1645.docx title Hansard document 2 file name 160225 Local government finance report HL6263.pdf title Local Government Finance Settlement - 2016 -2017 question first answered 07/03/2016 15:34:59 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
