Will the Cabinet Secretary confirm the amount each Local Authority has in its reserves, and explain how the Welsh Government is ensuring that these are being put to use to help assist Council services?
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government | Answered on 31/01/2017
I publish the levels of reserves held by each local authority on the Welsh Government's website. http://gov.wales/topics/localgovernment/finandfunding/whole-government-accounts/publications/whole-government-accounts-reserves/?lang=en
Decisions about the use of reserves are matters for the Executive of each authority, supported by professionally qualified finance officers.
