answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 answer text <p>As democratically elected organisations, local authorities are independent of central government, and are responsible for managing their budgets in line with local priorities and their legal duties.</p><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>As announced in the Local Government Finance Settlement, Core Spending Power is forecast to increase from £45.1 billion in 2018-19 to £46.4 billion in 2019-20. This is a cash-increase of 2.8 per cent and real-terms increase in resources available to local authorities. In the long term, the 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 grouped question UIN 224325 question first answered 26/02/2019 17:36:53 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>Over the five year period from 2015-16 to 2019-20, councils will have access to more than £200 billion. At the Autumn Budget the Government announced over £1 billion of extra funding for local authorities, this year and next, to help them deliver the services their communities need and support their most vulnerable residents.</p><p>Funding for local government services, including services for children and families, is set at Spending Review. The Chancellor has announced that the next Spending Review will be in 2019 and decisions about the future funding of services will be taken in the round. We are working with other Government Departments and the sector both to develop a thorough understanding of services costs and pressures and to help local authorities innovate and reform services to achieve better quality and efficiency.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 18/12/2018 16:27:01 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
