Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many representations he has received from Cornish business groups prior to the announcement of the local government finance settlement.
Prior to the provisional settlement, my Department held a technical consultation in September 2017 on the planned approach to the 2018-19 local government finance settlement. We received a total of 330 representations of which none were from Cornish business groups.
