Separately, the Directive on the Activities and Supervision of Institutions for Occupational Retirement Provision (IORP II) is due to be implemented by 13 January 2019.

MHCLG collects and publishes local authority expenditure data, and this includes a category on \u201cStop smoking services and interventions\u201d. The data for this since 2010-11 for each local authority can be found in table RO3 among the individual local authority data tables at: www.gov.uk/government/collections/local-authority-revenue-expenditure-and-financing<\/a>.<\/p>

Each local authority\u2019s Revenue Account budgets and outturn expenditure can also be found from this page.<\/p>

The Office for National Statistics publishes estimates of the numbers of smokers for each local authority level.

In 2013-14 MHCLG introduced the business rates retention scheme, under which local authorities retained a proportion of the business rates that they collect. A number of specific grants from other Government Departments were transferred into the business rates retention scheme at this time, including the Department for Education\u2019s Early Intervention Grant.<\/p>

In order to maintain the visibility of a number of named, non ring-fenced, elements of funding within the local government finance settlement, the Government currently publishes a Core Spending Power visible lines table (link below). The Early Intervention Grant is one of the visible lines set out in this table. To reflect the fact that local government is transitioning away from a world where councils are dependent on central government grants and towards greater self-sufficiency, these visible lines are shown at a national and local level within local authority Core Spending Power.<\/p>

Core Spending Power is a measure of the resources available to a local authority to fund its services. It includes Settlement Funding Assessment (business rates baseline funding level plus Revenue Support Grant), Council Tax and other central government grants. There is no consistent measure of Core Spending Power prior to 2015-16. Figures for the period 2015-16 to 2019-20 are available at the below link:

a) The Secretary of State travelled between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland but did not make a specific visit to the Irish border. Details of Ministers\u2019 overseas travel are published quarterly and are available on GOV.UK.<\/p>
