Question
To ask the Scottish Government what communication it has had with The Moray Council regarding a review of the local government funding formula.
Answer
The Leader of The Moray Council, Councillor George Alexander, wrote to me on 24 January regarding the 2018-19 local government finance settlement. In that letter Councillor Alexander explained that he had started a dialogue with you about how on how to improve the Council's financial outlook, including how it could increase it's per capita funding. As you know I have agreed to join you in those discussions with a delegation from The Moray Council and arrangements for that meeting are currently being put in place.
