Answered by Jim McMahon

As part of the final Local Government Finance Settlement 2025-26, announced on 5 February, the government published the latest Core Spending Power figures which are available here:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/core-spending-power-table-final-local-government-finance-settlement-2024-to-2025

Included within the tables are figures for allocations dating back to 2015. Due to changes in the function and financing of local government, comparable data is not available prior to 2015-16.
