Abstract
In this paper, the point is argued that the British block grant system for local government finance is becoming increasingly inappropriate as a means of achieving both equalisation and control of local spending. It calls for a separate educational block grant which would facilitate achievement of both these objectives. Furthermore, it would clarify the fields of responsibility of British central and local government by integrating the concept of minimum standards of service provision into the grant system.
