Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how he plans to ensure that local authorities in England are able to fund their (a) statutory and (b) non-statutory responsibilities after the Revenue Support Grant has ended.

The Government periodically assesses resourcing requirements for local government as part of each spending review, ensuring a sustainable basis for local authorities to discharge their functions. This assessment is made irrespective of the funding mechanisms employed.
