Mr. John McCarthy:
It all relates back to the situation that each area would have been in before LPT was introduced. The starting point was the GPG that each local authority had at that point. Take out the water-related costs, and every local authority had, at a minimum, to transition to the new LPT-based system without being worse off. It would have been a comparison from one to the other to get each local authority back into that situation of being no worse off.
