Following Ed Vaizey's speech to the LGA Conference, Tim Coates analyses the actual CIPFA data for English library authorities' revenue for the past five years and questions how the money is being spent. NB. Previous analysis of CIPFA data has shown that corporate service charges imposed on library authorities have escalated by 70% as a proportion of revenue in the past decade.
