I thought we had a comprehensive list here today, and people would have assumed that. I know Deputy Cassells will mention rates and some other issues, but there is as much money being raised locally for revenue expenditure by local authorities themselves, separate from the commercial rates. Essentially, central government is only a small contributor and provides a third of the funding for revenue. I presume the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government provides most of the capital.
