The Welsh local authorities, with their counterparts in England, are involved through their associations in making representations to the Government. It is done on an England and Wales basis. Under the Bill that will cease to happen. In future, if rate support grant powers are given to the Assembly, the only discussion will be between the local authorities and the Assembly. The local authorities in Wales will not join the English local authorities to determine the allocation.
