I will go back to the core question about the baseline calculated for local authorities, which is based on the 2014 grant and pensions-related deductions. Does the Minister envisage that that baseline will increase year-on-year or is it basically stuck at that point? If that is so, local authorities are not any worse off than where they were in 2014, despite the fact they face additional pressures and costs.
