Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how much Lancashire County Council received from central government in grants, excluding monies received from the local government finance settlements, in the last financial year.
In 2015-16, Lancashire County Council received £1.1 billion in central government grants.
This includes Specific and special revenue grants, Local Services Support Grant (LSSG) and Capital grants from central government departments but does not include Revenue Support Grant or the Police Grant which form part of the Local Government Finance Settlement.
The authority may additionally receive grants from other organisations. These would be recorded against the relevant service lines within the Other Income category in the Revenue Outturn statistics.
