I have one supplementary question with regard to local government funding and the budget times for local authorities. Information is given to local authorities at the very last minute when they are trying to finalise budgets for central funding. Is there a mechanism to do that at an earlier stage rather than at the last minute, which has been the protocol in recent years?
