Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to paragraph 5.16 of Budget 2018, what proportion of the £410 million for adult and children social care is for children's social care.

Where necessary, local authorities should use the funding to ensure adult social care pressures don’t create additional pressure on the NHS, and councils can also use it to improve their offer for older people, people with disabilities, and children.
