32. Mr. Chaytor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what discussions have taken place with the Local Government Association regarding the principles underpinning the review of SSAs. [73444]

Ms Armstrong

The principles of the review of revenue grant distribution were set out in the White Paper "Modern Local Government: In Touch with the People", which was presented to the House in July 1998. Officials from a number of Departments met representatives from local government, including the LGA, the Association for London Government and the Treasurers' Societies on 10 February to discuss the review. Further regular meetings with the LGA are planned during the course of the review.
