answer text <p>The government does not prescribe centrally where local government pension funds should invest their assets. Funds are responsible and accountable for their own decisions, provided that they act reasonably and follow the Local Government Pension Scheme Investment Regulations 2016 and associated guidance. <br> <br> Local government pension funds should make the pursuit of a financial return their predominant concern but they may also take into account purely non-financial considerations provided that doing so would not involve a significant risk of financial detriment and they have good reason to believe that scheme members would support their decision. <br> <br> Funds are required to set out their policy on how environmental, social or corporate governance concerns are taken into account in their Investment Strategy Statement. The Regulations also require this statement to be published and kept under review.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Local authorities may incur more expenditure than they have budgeted for a range of reasons, including increases in demand for services and unforeseeable events. This is why every local authority is required to maintain a level of unallocated reserve commensurate with sound financial risk management.</p><p>The Department collects and publishes individual local authority expenditure data for both budget and outturn, and these are available at <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/collections/local-authority-revenue-expenditure-and-financing" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/collections/local-authority-revenue-expenditure-and-financing</a>.</p> more like this
