I must stop Ms Quinn there. Yes, that is the case and that simplifies it a little, but what occurs now is local authorities will have a baseline and once they go above it, they then have to self-fund things like roads. Motor tax is collected, but local authorities must use what is collected via the LPT on road repairs.
