answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>Central government funding cannot in isolation provide a true representation of local authority finances. The responsibilities, structure and makeup of local authorities have changed significantly since 2010 and spending power, formula grants and settlement funding assessments are not directly comparable over this period. For example, with the introduction of the Business Rates Retention Scheme local authorities estimate they will keep around £2.4 billion in business rates growth in 2018-19.</p><p>Over the five year period from 2015-16 to 2019-20 council’s will have access to more than £200 billion, after last month’s budget. This recognises both the growing pressure on local government’s services and higher-than-expected inflation levels. In the long term, next year’s Spending Review will determine funding for local government from 2020-21 onwards and will enable us to look at local government spending in the round.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 10/12/2018 17:13:40 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
