tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL15189
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2019 answer text <p>Funding for the English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS) is provided to local authorities through the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government’s (MHCLG’s) revenue support grant. This funding is not ringfenced, which enables local authorities to make spending decisions that more closely match local needs and circumstances. It is misleading to talk about the grant in isolation when local authorities have access to council tax, business rates and other local income to deliver their local services.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 18/04/2019 10:27:52 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
