answer text

MHCLG collects and publishes budget and outturn data from all local authorities annually. This published data allows anyone to see absolute reserves levels and to also calculate reserves as a proportion of revenue spending both at individual local authority and sector wide levels. The measure of reserves that is most commonly referred to is non ring-fenced reserves which can be found in cells 915 & 916. The level of spend that is most commonly used is net service expenditure which can be found in cell 805. A web link to the GOV.UK website where this information is published is provided here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/local-authority-revenue-expenditure-and-financing" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/local-authority-revenue-expenditure-and-financing</a>. The Department also publishes a report alongside each data release that provides expenditure and reserves data at both a sector and class of local authority level. A web link to the report for the 2017/18 financial year is provided here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/756323/2017-18_RO_Final_Outturn_Statistical_Release.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/756323/2017-18_RO_Final_Outturn_Statistical_Release.pdf.</a>
