What funding and powers should we devolve to empower local leaders to provide stronger place-based leadership, and what other reforms are needed to support the sustainability of local government finances? How can this spending be better directed to encourage regional economic growth?

Background

Analysis on Public Spending and Public Services relates to how HM Treasury advises ministers on both the level and the composition of how taxpayers’ money is spent. Within this we are interested in driving improved outcomes and efficiency across key public services and departments; ensuring value for money is at the centre for decision-making through better data, analysis and evaluation; and putting the public finances on a strong and sustainable footing.
