Matters
New Capital Risk Monitoring
regime
To focus on these four “Risk categories”:
The total of a Local Authority’s debt (including credit
arrangements) compared to the financial resources at
the disposal of the Authority
The proportion of the total of a local authority’s capital
assets which are investments made, or held, wholly or
mainly in order to generate financial return
the proportion of a local authority’s debt (including
credit arrangements) where the counterparty is not
central government or a local authority.
Authorities making inadequate MRP contributions, are
at risk of not being able to pay the principal of their
debt when it becomes due.

The bill covers provisions for levelling-up missions, local democracy, town planning, Community Infrastructure Levy, regeneration, compulsory land purchases, and governance of institutions. Additionally, it introduces a new Capital Risk Monitoring regime focusing on debt, asset investments, and counterparty risks of local authorities. Scrutiny on project funding and risk management is emphasized, with forthcoming enforcement and consultation on metrics.
