Covid-19: Community Resilience Development Framework

Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb Excerpts

Wednesday 9th December 2020 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (GP) [V]]

Presumably, the framework will need some bolstering after Covid, and perhaps some extra resources. I am thinking in particular of things such as broadband. I heard the noble Baroness say that there would be an extra £750,000, but quite honestly that does not sound very much when we look at the whole framework and the valuable work being done. Are the Government thinking about improving the provision of resources for the framework?

[Baroness Scott of Bybrook (Con)]

There are no plans to improve resources for the framework at the moment. The noble Baroness will understand that a lot of government money has gone into all of our communities through the pandemic, but we keep everything under review.
