Report of the Chamberlain.

The Committee considered a report of the Chamberlain which provided information of the provisional settlements for Local Government and Police for 2016/17 and provided the Mayoral Precept for 2016/17. The report indicated that the provisional level of Local Government and Police funding were better than had been previously expected.

A Member asked for further information regarding the Government’s proposal that authorities could receive certainty on their settlement for a period of four years (to 2019-20) if they published an efficiency plan. The Chamberlain explained that this only applied to the Revenue Support Grant aspect of the settlement, but beyond that no further information of the requirements of the efficiency plan were known.

RESOLVED – That the Committee notes the report.
