Written Question
Local Government: Coronavirus
Monday 20th July 2020

Asked by: Tom Randall (Conservative - Gedling)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

What additional support he is providing to local authorities during the covid-19 outbreak.

Answered by Simon Clarke

Government recognises the pressures councils face from Covid-19. We are providing councils with an unprecedented package of support, allocating £4.3 billion for spending pressures, including £3.7 billion of unringfenced grants and the £600 million Infection Control Fund.

Overall, Government has committed nearly £28 billion to support councils, their communities and businesses.
