Reforming government finance

The more growth that is delivered the more money is available to re-distribute, says Alexandra Jones.

When it comes to making things happen, so much comes down to money. How much you have. How much you need. And how much freedom you have to spend it.

So the Government's emphasis on reforming local government finance has always held out the promise that this time, local government really would gain greater power over its budgets, in line with most other countries across the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
