Lords ChamberMy Lords, can the Minister tell the House what inflation figure was used when the local government settlement was made?
I cannot tell the noble Lord what inflation figure was used, but I think that 9% is a very reasonable figure in the economic situation that we are in at the moment, due to many things, such as Covid and the Ukrainian war.
