I assume that the question refers to general purpose grant allocations from the local government fund for 2006 which were notified to local authorities on 5 December 2005. The statutory prescribed period for local authority budget meetings runs to 13 January 2006 in the case of county councils and 15 January 2006 in the case of city borough councils and rating town councils.
