First Minister’s Question Time
Local Government Budgets (Glasgow City Council)
That is a focal point of the Government’s annual budget. The Government has put in place local government settlements that have increased the resources that are available to local government in recent years. Indeed, there is a real-terms increase in resources to local government in the current budget. As Iris Duane will know, the Government has to reconcile a variety of competing spending requirements as part of its budget, and we look forward to the engagement that will involve members of the Parliament in the course of the budget-setting process over the next few months.
