The Local Government Finance Report (England) 2011/12 sets out the amount of revenue support grant for 2011/12, the amounts to be paid to each local authority and the basis of the distribution.

Grant is distributed according to the relative needs formula (RNF) for each local authority. The provisional settlement distributes the £29 billion in 2011/12 and the £27 billion in 2012/13 that the October Spending Review allocated to local authorities through formula grant.
