Abstract

None of the many interest groups involved with either the determination or the effects of central government control of local authority expenditure can be satisfied with the status quo. The current position almost defies description. This is not surprising since it has been arrived at as a result of many piecemeal and ad hoc changes to an original policy, the goals of which appear to have been rejected by many in both central and local government. Over recent years the details of the government's control of local expenditure have been constantly changing. In order to explain these changes and to examine whether they are part of a logical transition, we need to take stock of where we have come from and to speculate on to where we might be going.
