Local Government Finance
(asked on 21st November 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what proportion of the funding provided to local government by central government was ring-fenced in each of the last three years.
This question was answered on 2nd December 2014
A recent National Audit Office report on Local Government Funding stated that, adjusting for recent changes in local government duties as far as possible, due to changes made by DCLG since 2010 the share of ringfenced revenue funding fell from 7 per cent to less than 1 per cent. This figure has remained at less than one percent for the last three years.
