The inflation figure was the lowest point that any union would take when settling with the Executive, COSLA and so forth.Although I understand the Local Government and Transport Committee's desire to have an inflation assumption built into its budget, the Finance Committee should not sign up to anything that suggests that, if inflation rises above a figure, we should continue to buy the same volume of local services.Paragraph 18 notes that the Local Government and Transport Committee's third recommendation is for a "consolidated statement of support through all funding mechanisms".We discussed something like that with the minister yesterday when we talked about getting a table that includes all the capital expenditure sources.
