Asked by: Jim McMahon (Labour (Co-op) - Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the 1 February 2019 Local Government Association's news article entitled £8 billion funding black hole by 2025 will swallow up popular council services, dated 1 February 2019, what representations his Department has received on funding for local government in the forthcoming Comprehensive Spending Review.

Future funding for local government will be considered at the next Spending Review.
