LOCAL GOVERNMENT GRANT FORMULA

Early day motion 873, tabled 24 February 2009 by Nick Palmer (Labour). Signed by 27 members.

That this House notes that the impact of the system of ceilings and floors in local government support grant is preventing a number of councils from getting the funding which the Government assesses through the Grant Formula that they need; recognises that this leads to difficult decisions in local service provision; and urges the Government to accelerate the transition to the correct formula level for all councils.

Signatures by party: Labour 21, Liberal Democrat 5, Independent Labour 1.
